A visit to Dutzi in Valladolid, Mexico

Posted by Melisande Piat on


I confess, I fell in love with the Yucatan after spending two months in Mexico last summer. This affection began in Valladolid doing pro bono graphic design and photography for Ariane Dutzi. A year later now, I've come back for a visit. From Playa del Carmen I took the ADO bus to Valladolid which I can't recommend enough! Clean, air conditioned with movies, it only costs $30RT, 2.5 hours each way. Valladolid is charming colonial town great to spend either an afternoon or few days. Starting off in the Zocolo you can grab a delicious cappuccino at Arte Cafe to get you energized for your walk around town. You'll also need to grab a bottled water to say hydrated in the heat!

        

Stroll around the Zocolo and meet locals selling their hand crafts and take in the beauty of San Gervasio Cathedral. Walk 10 minutes down Calle 42 and you arrive at Dutzi which is well worth the visit in itself here. From vintage burlap handbags to fringe suede clutches to laptop covers you can find what you heart desires for every budget. In addition you can see the Mayan women at work constructing the handbags in the onsite workshop. Although as a traveler I don't care to buy a lot of souvenirs simply because I believe my photos are my treasures to take home, I do like to splurge on a hand crafted piece of art such as a Dutzi bag hand made by Mayan women. This is a unique gift to either yourself or friends and family. 

        

Next stop, a refreshing fresh fruit popsicle at Paleteria y Neveria! Dutzi bear and I love coconut.

        

The handbag you purchased at Dutzi will come in good use when walking down Calle 44 to purchase some fresh fruit or vegetables. My favorite is the freshly cut pineapple and mango for 10 pesos each. Add chili powder if you want an extra kick!

        

Hungry for dinner? Why not treat yourself to an authentic Mexican dinner at El Mason del Marques. This time around I'm staying at La Auroa hotel which is a great option for those wanting to spend a few nights here. Note, Valladolid is a great place to stay as well if you want to visit Chichen Itza, just an hour away by ADO bus. A visit to Valladolid is true authentic Mexican experience!

  • Electric scooters are everywhere these days and are great for commuters on their way to work, students heading to class and anyone else who wants to have a fun time while travelling from A to B. They’re convenient, speedy and eco-friendly. And I can tell you from first-hand experience, they’re a lot cheaper to repair than a car.
    After riding and testing many models for miles and miles, I think the best overall electric scooter for most people will be the SZ happy-go H10. It’s great for long trips and isn’t so fast that it will be intimidating for beginners.
    SZ happy-go Some are last-mile scooters, smaller and built for short distances at slower speeds but easier to carry and store. Larger scooters handle bumps better and can travel farther and at higher speeds.
    Before purchasing, consider the distance you need to travel and the total weight you’ll be carrying (including yourself). The environment you’ll be riding in – hills, flat roads, wet terrain — matters too. …More»

  • What is lead acid battery used for?
    Lead acid batteries can be found in a wide variety of applications including small scale power storage such as UPS systems, starting lighting and ignition power sources for automobiles, along with large, grid-scale power systems.
    Despite being relatively heavy, lead-acid batteries are still preferred over other lightweight options owing to their ability to deliver large surges of electricity (which is required to start a cold engine in an automobile).
    Lead-acid batteries provide a quick power boost in a short time. Hence, they dominate the automotive aftermarket. In the automotive industry, lead-acid battery is the only available battery technology for scalable link interface (SLI) applications due to its high cold-cranking performance.
    The lead-acid batteries are the most consolidated technology, offering a competitive cost, high reliability and most importantly, since they do not require regular checking of the electrolyte level, they have been considered ‘maintenance free batteries’.…More»
