We seem to have done everything we wanted to do in Orizaba, so this morning we took off and headed south. To break the unusual extreme heat, the rainy season must start. Now we’re having a down-right intimate relationship with tropical storm Alberto. This storm will hit the Mexico coast Continue Reading
We came to Orizaba with an Air B-n-B reservation for 3 weeks. Air B-n-Bs, by our experience, can really be a gamble, and to be fair, so is VRBO. Some hosts will tout an exquisite opportunity yet provide you with an untenable result. Here in Orizaba, that was not the Continue Reading
10 am Saturday, we got the call. “Señor Donnie, Tammy es listo!” I was a bit stupefied that they knew her name was Tammy. We were hedging our bets that all the repairs would be completed without having to extend our stay in Xalapa and we were correct, with 2 Continue Reading
As the semester drew near to closing and the semi-flamboyant graduation ceremony was complete, the summer-o-fun was just a weekend away.

I AM SORRY IF I’M YELLING BUT… YOU’LL UNDERSTAND BY THE END OF THIS. Thursday, December 21, 2023. It was a rather nasty, rainy day as we crossed into Mexico this morning via the Columbia Bridge. The Element and I already had our papers and permissions, but we had to Continue Reading

Monclova is straight south of Eagle Pass/Piedras Negras. It’s the beginning of some dry & dusty parts in northern Mexico. We haven’t been to Monclova in several years so it sounded like good place to start. We rented a room at Hotel Olimpia, right on the square in Centro. It Continue Reading
Saturday, May 28 It’s a short 90-minute drive to Bacalar, the lake of seven colors. It’s just a bit north of Chetumal, near the coastline. We found a deal on a private room at a hostel called “The Yak House”. We were greeted by a cute little bug of a Continue Reading
Tuesday, May 24 The drive to Palenque starts with an hour of good curvy road that takes you through Villahermosa, Tobasco and into Chiapas. We booked a night at “The Burnt Hotel”, otherwise known as Villas Kin Ha. It’s actually a few miles outside of Palenque on the road towards Continue Reading
