Xilitla is a town with mostly roads that have a 20 to 30 degree incline at all times. You can’t help but get your exercise here. We walked a number of block to the town square, found a second story patio and had a cold one while we looked over Continue Reading

June 2nd, 2015. What weird day. It was a great nights sleep in Ciudad Victoria. We woke at a reasonable time and languished to our content. We were not in a hurry.  The hotel breakfast was nothing to write home about so I guess you can ignore this sentence. Ciudad Continue Reading

So, today we left for our long summer trip to Mexico and we started with the attitude that we would not drive for the typical 12 hour periods like we have in the past.  We got on the road by 7am, lousy breakfast in Pearsall around 9, Laredo by 10:30. Continue Reading

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

May 29 – This is the first morning we weren’t awakened by barking dogs or pissed off roosters.  After the last three days of hard driving sleep was deep and yummy.  In fact the only thing we did today was wake up.  Although, once the sun went down we managed Continue Reading

May 25 – Patzcuaro is now in our rear view mirror as we head for the coast.  Originally we were going to Zihuatenejo but Sharon read something about Playa Azul that sounded inviting.  This meant drive to the coast and turn right not left. Playa Azul.  If we could surf, Continue Reading

May 23 – Today we left Morelia for Patzcuaro and, except for one wrong turn that cost us an hour of drive time, the drive was pleasant and picturesque.  The countryside is hilly and moist.  We found convenient street parking and walked into an abyss of minivan taxis.  Patzcuaro is Continue Reading
