This is a great book, An American Bimbo in Yucatan, which my publishing company, SunTopaz LLC, will be publishing soon. However, I wonder about the title. It is a fantastic true story of a woman from Oregon who moves to Yucatan, meets and marries a Mayan man, and has lived in a Mayan village for [...]

Today I made my shot list for Coba, an especially beautiful but also wild and wierd archeological site in the Yucatan Peninsula. I especially like the plethora of wild birds chirping and yodelling in the morning. With the camcorder filming, I was thrilled when a two to three foot tall brown speckled wading bird not [...]

Another fantastic day working on the Yucatan Travel Video. I love remembering my visits to the wonderful colonial town of Izamal where the town’s people, modern-day Maya, live among the ancient Mayan ruins . Alas, an overzealous Spanish bishop, during the time of the Spanish Inquisition, dismantled one of the pyramids and used its stones [...]

He is usually toothless, sits in a lotus position, sometimes has a beard – very unusual since the pure blooded Maya do not have beards. Verrry interesting.
Today, I am including the search for an image of Itzamna [...]

Itzamna was a very important god of the ancient Maya. He is one of their founder gods who oversaw all the other gods.

Today’s and yesterday’s . . . and tomorrow’s . . . Yucatan Travel Movie editing time will be spent on Izamal, one of my favorite destinations in the Mexican state of Yucatan. Not only does this beautiful colonial city have the highest pyramid in the state of Yucatan, but also, it has a gorgeous historical [...]

Today, I sorted through photographs of the world-famous Chichen Itza Equinox Event. We were in Chichen Itza for the Spring Equinox this year when the sunlight formed the pattern of a serpent’s body on the stone serpent whose body rises up the side of the stairs on the Pyramid of Kulkulkan. This was an event [...]
Today I spoke in Richmond, Virginia, on one of my favorite topics: 2012, Edgar Cayce and the Maya.
I really enjoy that group.
This time, the Richmond A.R.E. had a joint meeting with the area IONS group.
Many inquisitive, knowledgeable people attended my event. Delightful!

Today I have been looking for information on Stele 1 in Coba, Quintana Roo, Mexico, a huge Mayan ruin.
