It's been two weeks of traveling! Now that Otis (8) and Sofia (6) have a little bit of world travel under their belts, here's what they have to say about it.
What have you done so far that you think other kids should know about?
Sofia: the horse and carriage ride (in Merida)
Otis: Kids club! Especially digging for dinosaur bones on the beach. (at the Westin Resort and Spa)
What is something new that you've learned about Mexico?
Otis: "Hard to say. The hotels are really good. The food. The hotcakes."
Sofia: "The talking is different."
What do you most look forward to doing on our trip?
Otis: "I'm going to hug some dolphins."
Sofia: "Dolphins. More Mayan ruins."
If you could bring one thing from home to keep with you for the rest of our vacation, what would it be?
Otis: "A computer!" (with Minecraft capabilities).
Sofia: "Nothing."
How has it been for you speaking Spanish? Do you have any advice for someone who doesn't speak very good Spanish?
Otis: "Good. I let my parents speak for me."
Sofia: "Not good because I don't speak Spanish."
What is the most interesting thing you've learned here?
Otis: (At Dzibilchaltun) "The sound hit the buildings just right so you could hear someone talking below from up at the top."
Sofia: "The fish were interesting and funny when they nibbled our toes."
What advice would you give to someone from home getting ready to fly to Mexico?
Otis: "It can be scary when the plane goes above the clouds. There are barf bags in the seats! Bring headphones so you can watch the movie."
Sofia: "It's going to be a long flight with lots of waiting."
Who in your life do you think would most enjoy Mexico?
Otis: "Faith and Colin" (cousins)
Sofia: "Faith and Sophia Grace"
Anything else you want to tell the people at home?
Otis: "Bring a water bottle to the mayan ruins."
Sofia: "At the zoo there are turtles."
