Hello All! This is our first weekly VLOG and with this comes our commitment to post a new video every Friday. After spending over a year on the amazing little slice of Caribbean paradise off the coast of Cancun Mexico named "Isla Mujeres" we are moving onto the next chapter for us which will be our full time travel adventure. Spending so long on Isla Mujeres made it hard to leave in some ways (because it's amazing) but easier in others (because there's still a whole lot of globe for us to trot before we even think about settling in one place). We are so grateful to all the friends we've made during our time on "Isla" as it is affectionately referred to, and to all our friends and family who came to visit. Mexico is such an enormous country it's simply impossible to experience everything this land has to offer so, for this next part of our journey we'll be focusing on the area on and around (and under) the island of Cozumel. Thanks for being a part of our journey and don't forget to click the thumbs up/like on videos you enjoy and subscribe to our channel so our weekly updates post on your YouTube page. All the best! Kattie and Chris

I feel good!
Yesterday was seven years to the day from Kate and I's first date in a Mexican restaurant.
Really. And now we're good to go.
We're having our very last Rooster's frappe.
My cinnamon roll. My last cinnamon roll.
This is our last day on these little huts. It's been over a year.
What's some of your favorite stuff?
My favorite restaurants, Pokchup and Rubens and Jack's.
Jack's for a hamburger. Didn't think I'd crave hamburgers.
Man, the hamburgers are good.
The fries were always hot.
And crispy.
And then we had, what, Pokchup?
Our last dinner at Pokchup.
Sopa de Lima!
Quesadilla en lojoch is masa, all corn, with white cheese inside.
And sopas. Oh, their sopas are incredible.
There goes the Spanish.
They're salbutas.
Salbutas.
I need some help from Christy.
And this is Pokchup.
The namesake of the restaurant.
Mayan spiced pork chops.
Rubens. Rubens was always amazing.
Always good food, good price.
We used to walk out to the front door.
Get right onto the sand.
My favorite thing is walking here on the beach like we're doing now.
Hunger cops were fighting over one shell that was much bigger than theirs.
Bloodthirsty little thing, isn't she?
We just watched them throughout the whole year.
The iguanas have come to Big Kitty Farewell.
Having babies and teaching them how to fish, which was hysterical.
And just the many friends.
My Spanish teacher, who was incredible.
And all the friends I've met on the island.
It's been really nice.
How about you?
My favorite part has been being able to go out swimming in the Caribbean every day.
This is where we spend a lot of time swimming.
Right here by the Mir Resort.
That's the channel behind us.
We may have mentioned it a time or two over the last year.
But this is the life.
That's the Tuguiz paleta.
Which is popsicles.
This is popsicles.
But the lady that does massage over there right underneath the treehouse.
Named Lina.
Is awesome.
Best massage I've had.
If you want even more professional services than that.
Go to Roots Clinic.
It's a Red Buddha.
Nurit Van David is Israeli.
She's trained in Chinese medicine.
And is amazing with Shiatsu.
And acupuncture.
I really loved getting to be a part of the Earth Day stuff that we did.
Enjoyed doing our clean up.
It's depressing that there's so much clean up to be done.
Everybody does their little part.
We're about to pick up some garbage that people are too lazy to pick up.
Work is never done.
I think we're just ready for our next adventure.
So what is next for us?
We are headed to Cozumel.
For a few months.
And then back to the States for a month.
And then we're off to Australia and Southeast Asia.
Looking forward to it.
It'll be fun.
I'm looking forward to the food, the animals, and the people.
Once we get to Cozumel I'll start making the commitment to do weekly uploads.
So it won't be so long in between.
Some of those will be diving.
And I'll put some of the diving vids up.
After that we'll head back to the Pacific Northwest for a little bit.
Do some visiting, some camping.
And then...
And then we're off on the mega-adventure.
For those of you that have just started watching,
I think you're tuning in at the right time.
Yeah, our videos are improving.
A little bit.
Well, see you on the next side.
Alright, bye for now.
Adios.
