June 14 – 17 – These next few days in Playa were basically spent sleeping late, swimming at the pool and, of course, watching the Spurs humiliate the Heat on Fathers Day. On the 17th we walked the strip and listened to the street fill with cheers as Mexico took Continue Reading
It’s all getting a bit blurry
June 9 – 13 – Ok, I’ve officially lost track but we have basically fallen into a vacation pattern of one day on, one day off. I think on the 9th we started late morning to buy a few souvenirs for the grand kids and within minutes the time would Continue Reading

Yolanda called it El Gringo Especial
