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 Voice Returns
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
It’s not like we’re European or anything.
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
Little Towns, Big Falls
As we recharged, Sharon perused our map. There are some waterfalls an hour or so away. Even so, we both had this odd feeling of tourist let down. Maybe we should cut the trip short and head back. We took a short ride into town, found alambre al pastor for Continue Reading
A Mountain Trail To Nowhere
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
El Cielo
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
The 12 Hour Rule
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
I can see for Miles and Miles
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
Miles of mud and the wrong beer
June 2 – Well, after all this relocating jazz, we didn’t stray too far. In fact we mostly napped. Same goes for tomorrow. June 4 – Enough laziness. We loaded up the car and headed north to Puerto Morelos and straight to Restaurant Ojo de Agua where we found Mario Continue Reading
