July 24.  Well, as I  alluded to in the previous post, we reluctantly left Orizaba this morning.  It’s perfectly laid out streets easily led us to… well, we hadn’t discussed that part yet.  Oaxaca, to further join the resistance?  Catemaco, for a little spirit conjuring?  After a number of indecisions Continue Reading

July 20.  I have decided that we don’t get lost as much as I once believed.  Let’s just say we travel creatively. That being said we found a very creative way to leave Tepoztlan, about an hour and a half of creativity.  Eventually we were on our way towards Puebla.  Continue Reading

July 15.  The Pozole and a show was a bit much for Sharon so Shawn and I took off at 7am for the Van’s Open Surf Competition.  They were whittling down to the final 32 surfers.  It was a different way to kill the entire morning.  Then we snuck into Continue Reading

Hey, it’s been a while but we have settled in in Acapulco.  Here’s a brief rundown. July 9.  Breakfast al fresco.  Grocery shopping for the week via “collectivo”.  Get off the bus and “poof”, my friend Cecillio appears, literally.  He has a nack for that.  Walk the strip at night Continue Reading

July 4th.  Once again it was a wonderful abuelita style breakfast that started the day and was followed by absolutely nothing.  It wasn’t because we were resting for the holiday, plus it’s not exactly  an observed holiday down here.  No, we just chilled and waited until 11am to load up Continue Reading

The day’s events in Zacatecas took their toll on us and we made an early evening of it all.  Well, it was that or the 3 to 4 local mescals that did us in.  We awoke fairly early and walked up the cobbled streets to El Indio Alegre, (the happy Continue Reading

We started this summer’s trip a bit later than our usual.  This is due to the dozens of projects we needed to finish around the house, a trip to Tennessee to see the new grand baby, a bit of work in Houston and Sharon and I both getting jury notice Continue Reading
