New Home Owners In Chuburna

Last week it was our pleasure to meet a lovely family visiting us from Sweden. Anita had been emailing me since August with questions about property and the area. She and her husband Michael and 16 year old daughter Malin came for 2 weeks to checkout the area. Susan and I showed them around the first day and then met up with Doug. They looked in Chelem, Chuburna, all the way to Telchac. They decided that they wanted to be in the Chelem/Chuburna area. While here they visited Merida and the ruins at Dzibilchaltun. Dzibilchaltun dates back to 500 BC. Here is a link for more information on this site.

Anita and her family were some of the more gracious and warm hearted people that we have met. They love the local people and want to immerse themselves in the culture, they had lived on an island in Greece a few years ago and understand that life in a foreign country is totally different than at "home."

Here we are at La Pinata in Progreso celebrating them finding the house of their dreams
La Pinata is a local restaurant that specializes in arrachera a steak similar to a London Broil. The service is great and the food and drinks are inexpensive, you may sit inside or out.


Here are Michael and Malin in Dzibilchaltun, in the distance is the famous Temple of the Dolls, every year at the spring equinox crowds gather to watch the rising sun shine through the opening in the temple.

The famous cenote, cenotes are underground lakes that occasionally surface. They were a water source for the ancient Maya and were used in cleansing ceremonies among other things.
