I have this thing about not sleeping when I travel to a new area for a wedding. Why it always turns out like that I don’t know. I seem to be pretty good at operating on three hours of sleep multiple days in a row.
Reminds me of skool, so you’d think I’d be opposed to it.
I flew down to the Yucatán for Stephanie and Michael’s wedding and had a day off last Saturday between the wedding and TTD.
I took the opportunity to scout locations for the TTD at sunrise and indulge my passion for pre-Columbian archaeology.
(For those of you that recall, back in December I forfeited sleep and instead went to the Mitla ruins on 48hrs sans-rest.)
The above photo from the TTD was shot on a mayan sacbé, one-thousand year old stone and plaster roads that criss-cross the Yucatán and connect ancient Mayan cities, some are hundreds of miles long.
This particular sacbé was located near the Muyil archaeological zone inside the Sian Ka’an.
That was part two. Part one of the TTD was below, at a beach near Tulum, and part three was back at the same beach.
Keep a heads up for a really sick collection of photos from my day off; ruins at Tulum, Cobá, and Muyil, some beach sunrise action, and others, all bleary-eyed and fully-caffeinated.
Enjoy!

The first one looks like a fairytale! Like a unicorn should come charging out of the trees. Luv it!
