Well it’s July so you’re probably not heading to the hot and muggy Yucatan anytime soon, should should you be tooling around the peninsula be sure to spend some time in Valladolid. This was my favorite small/medium town that I visited. It’s in the center of the Yucatan Peninsula, right between Cancun and Merida.

We found a place to unwind at the Kabah Cafe, on the southeast corner of the Zocalo. On the second floor above a pharmacy the Kabah has excellent lattes, sandwiches, and desserts. Comfortable couches or a seat by the window make this a great place for sitting above the corner people watching.

There’s plenty of board games for passing the time, and friendly faces to strike up a conversation with.
