Calakmul is surrounded by a Biosphere Reserve - it. is. the. jungle. Monkeys, exotic birds, foxes, agoutis, tapirs, kincajous, bats, and even jaguars. (And let's not forget the giant spiders!) Once you get to the Reserve, it is a drive down a 60 kilometer bumpy, poorly-maintained road. Just outside of the reserve is the last place you can stay: Hotel Puerta Calakmul...
On one of the hottest days of the year (well over 100 degrees), I found myself melting at McMenamin's Edgefield. I also cried a little bit, as some of my best friends were getting married! It was a gorgeous event. I'm so pleased to share their photos here!
Over our days in Bacalar, we saw storms roll over the lake, watched lightning at night, relaxed, drank and ate like kings, napped in hammocks, and without fail we saw daily rainbows, and took sunset swims. Lizards bobbed their heads at you while you used the outdoor shower, birds were everywhere, and time stood still.
Although we have a personal trust and rapport, my good friends had never sat for me. It was a great chance for them to experience how I work, and then to see how wonderful they look together.
