Guanajuato City is one of the most picturesque places we visited in central Mexico. Many of the buildings are painted in beautiful colours, which rise up the hills of the Valley as the perfect backdrop for pictures. The views were unforgettable! . . . #travel #mexico #centralmexico #guanajuatocity #guanajuato #colonial #exploringtheglobe #beautifulplaces #mexicotravel #vivemexico #visitmexico #landscape #city #photography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring What a way to start the day! We thought we might start the week with a sunrise picture from last summer, taken early on the morning on the ferry from Vancouver to Victoria. One of the perks to waking up early for an adventure! . . . #travel #vancouver #victoria #tsawwassen #sunrise #britishcolumbia #canada #explorebc #georgiastraight #salishsea #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #bcferry #bcferries #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring British Columbia has some incredible hikes that will take you into deep into the wilderness. Goldstream Provincial Park is located just outside of Victoria, BC. . This was a short hike, but it was almost straight up. The view was definitely worth the effort. After hiking up the steep slope we arrived at an old railway bridge and this was our reward; the view of Saanich Inlet below. . . . #travel #victoria #goldstream #canada #saanichpeninsula #saanichinlet #britishcolumbia #goldstreamprovincialpark #provincialpark #parkscanada #hiking #nature #outdoors #explorebc #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #photography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring Seeing this massive crocodile in the wild was one of the highlights of our trip to the Ria Lagartos Biosphere Reserve. It was hard not to think about dinosaurs when we saw this beautiful animal up close. Fortunately, this female was very relaxed and our boat driver was able to get us close enough to get this shot... with a little help from lens on the SLR. . . . #travel #mexico #yucatan #crocodile #riolagartos #nationalpark #nature #wildlife #riolagartosyucatan #vivemexico #exploremexico #travelmexico #visityucatan #exploringtheglobe #beautifulplaces #rialagartos #biospherereserve #photography #wildlifephotography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring We’ve been looking back at some pictures from our trip through Central Mexico and found this gem. It’s just another one of the great shots that Norma took while we were in San Miguel de Allende. We’ve finally started sharing stories and pictures from this trip on our website, so if you like this one, why not have a peek? . . . #travel #mexico #centralmexico #nikon #guanajuato #sanmigueldeallende #sanmiguel #views #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #colonialmexico #colonial #newspain #travelmexico #nikonphotography #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring Union Square in Manhattan is pretty wild. It is a constant hive of activity. The subway station underneath has 9 different lines, making it an important intersection above and below ground. It is an important part of New York. . . . #travel #newyork #newyorkcity #nyc #unionsquare #beautifulplaces #manhattan #exploringtheglobe #city #buildings #photography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring St Marks Summit is one of the most popular hikes in Vancouver. When you get to the top and see the views of Howe Sound, it’s easy to understand why so many people come up here . . . #travel #hiking #vancouver #northvancouver #northvan #northshore #stmarkssummit #cypress #cypressprovincialpark #mountains #nature #outdoors #exploringtheglobe #beautifulplaces #parkscanada #provincialpark #canada #britishcolumbia #explorebc #photography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring This is the Pyramid of the Moon, which is located just outside of Mexico City. It is the smaller of two pyramids located at the ruins of Teotihuacan. Their history predates the Aztecs, and it is one of the most impressive ruins we’ve seen in Mexico. Alongside the two pyramids (the other of which you can climb) there are many other smaller temples and structures to explore. . . . #travel #mexico #cdmx #mexicocity #pyramidofthemoon #teotihuacan #pyramid #travelmexico #vivemexico #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #pyramids #adventure #photography #travelphotography #travelohoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheword #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring Tonight we’re making ceviche! . . . #travel #mexico #ceviche #colourful #grocerystore #cozumel #rivieramaya #quintanaroo #tomato #lime #red #green #fresh #fruits #vegetables #exploringtheglobe #beautifulplaces #photography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgosdventuring This incredible sculpture is located outside of the Museum of Vancouver. “The Crab” has been welcoming guests to the museum for over 50 years. The 6 meter tall sculpture was created by local artist George Norris in 1967, as part of the Canadian centennial. . . . #travel #vancouver #vancouverbc #britishcolumbia #canada #museumofvancouver #MOV #sculpture #art #publicart #georgenorris #thecrab #crab #outdoorart #explorebc #dailyviewbc #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring This was one of the most memorable hikes from 2019, when we made the trip to Crooked Falls (just outside of Squamish). We found some incredible views of the valley below, and got some up close views of the falls. . . . #travel #squamish #crookedfalls #squamishbc #britishcolumbia #canada #hiking #outdoors #explorebc #dailyviewbc #beautifulplaces #seatosky #exploringtheglobe #nature #mountain #waterfall #natureisamazing #photography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring I would say we had a pretty fun year in 2019. We traveled to some new and exotic places and created some amazing memories. As always, we’re looking forward to 2020 and writing the next chapter in our lives! .
