We enjoyed Mexico's hospitality, and now we're back in the states spreading the joy of living south of the border!

Maya Mattress



We have amazing weather most of the year in Central Mexico. In fact, this October has been much warmer than average, with most days in the upper 70s F. Ever since last summer, Dave has wanted a hammock to take advantage of the beautiful sunshine.

On our recent vacation to the Yucatan, there were a lot of hammocks for sale. We bought a free-trade sisal hammock - the mattress of choice for the indigenous Mayans. The sisal threads are taken from a specific kind of local cactus, and the result is a beautiful hammock that doesn't sag or mold. And it's very very comfortable for warm afternoons!
