23/7 – Make it day 9 of no car… mostly.About 1pm we heard the joyous sounds of the Mexican ring tone. Diego, our taxi guy that is now on speed dial, dropped us off in la colonia and we were presented with the new and improved Chacha. Later we scooted Continue Reading
The Collectivo Days
16/7 – The one-eye-open thrill ride to the airport went off without a hitch and was soon followed by a nap in place of what would normally be known as sleep. At 8 we got back up and took Chacha to the car doctor, across the main highway to old Continue Reading
The Relentless Days of Beach, Sun and Driving The Bus
30/6 – I just noticed a few of my dates are off. Lauren & Josh didn’t leave till the 28th and … oh, whatever. The facts are still there. After all the trouble we’ve had with the house and our mysterious house keeper, Paul and Joan, the house owners, will Continue Reading

Then Hippy Bus
Mexican Raisin Bran
Day 14. 7/11/12 Some of the best days are when you have no plans and you follow through with your non-plans. We had a nice simple breakfast then headed out to the beach in front of the condo. We ended up sauntering down the beach, spotting more sea glass. A Continue Reading
Willmort’s International
Day 11 7/8/12 Today we flew/drove solo. We went down the road, past the airport to Playa Bonfil. Quite a different beach from outside the condo or Pie de la Questa. This is one of the stops for surfers that conquer the east coast. There were a few but not Continue Reading
Pozole, a Drag Show and deals in Taxco
Day 8 7/5/12Let’s see if we can piece together today’s events. Peaceful morning, walking the beach looking for sea glass and occasionally languishing in an inflatable while being lulled into a mild coma by the surf. Once back up to the condo, Cecillio and his girlfriend, Esmerelda “La Diabla” (his Continue Reading
Cuernavaca and the Markets of Acapulco
Day 5 7/2/12Oh, yeah… we were in Cuernavaca. Last night, outside our window, we heard a sultry saxophone playing rico swave jazz. That’s where we headed for fresh brewed coffee and a very nice breakfast this morning. Kind of drippy wet place, (in a nice way), plants, fountains, and no Sanka. Continue Reading
The Jesus Post
***WARNING *** PARENTAL SUCH-N-SUCH***This was written a bit tipsy by all parties concerned. But too good to edit. Day 1 6/28/12We arrived at the airport at one-ish for the flight to Toluca, MX. An uneventful flight except for the free scotch. Did you catch that? Free Dewars! Southwest airlines ain’t got nuthin’ Continue Reading
The World’s Most Dangerous Rides
So where we ended up was pretty much all over the place. San Angel is a lovely barrio of cobble streets, uber-expensive massive homes behind thick rock walls. The walking continued… We decided to eat and stopped and a fancy shmansy Italian restaurant on Reforma Blvd. Wine and pasta and Continue Reading
