236Shares 0 0 236 0 Located in the jungle, unexcavated and with multiple civilizations, Coba Ruins is the non-touristy ruin you need to visit while in Yucatan Mexico. While leaving idyllic Tulum is hard, it is worth it. Pat and I drove to the Coba Ruins. We were told by locals to go to the […]

It’s Gilded Age architecture, rich history, beaches, hiking trails and sailing heritage give you plenty of things to do in Newport, RI.
