Mexico – Day 75

Shaun left at 9am and walked on the beach to Paradise Village to meet up with Tim the captain of a 75ft yacht called Redneck, who was lending him a kayak to go fishing.  He was on the ocean for 2 hours, very far from shore, but he didn’t get any bites even though he … More Mexico – Day 75

Mexico – Day 74

I woke up to Shaun’s message saying that he didn’t think he would make his connecting flight in Atlanta as his 6am flight left Burlington 38 minutes late. Delta told them they had printer problems. He didn’t make the connection but was booked on the next flight leaving at 11:30am and he arrived in PV … More Mexico – Day 74

Mexico – Day 73

I got up and worked on my blogs. We had breakfast before Marta arrived at 9:30am. We left at 10:30am and went to do a small grocery and went for lunch at La Sukka. We shared a ceviche and a club sandwich. They had forgotten to put bacon inside the sandwich so they brought us … More Mexico – Day 73

Mexico – Day 72

We slept in then stopped at the bank on our way to Mama Nena. We didn’t have any food left in the condo, not even milk for coffee. The place was packed but as usual we were the only tourists. I had Chilaquiles and Pogo had Huevos Rancheros. The orange bougainvilleas had a few hummingbirds … More Mexico – Day 72

Mexico – Day 71

We met for breakfast at the hotel restaurant at 9am then checked out of the hotel. We wanted to finish the loop of little villages we had not had time to visit yesterday. Our first stop was La Quemada, a dusty little village. We found the sad looking centro and moved on. Pogo found a … More Mexico – Day 71

Mexico – Day 70

We woke up to the lovely sound of church bells and roosters. We all met at 9am and looked for a breakfast place. Mario had spotted a crèpes counter the night before but it wasn’t open. They didn’t feel like a Mexican breakfast so we went back to one of the hotel’s restaurants where they … More Mexico – Day 70

Mexico – Day 69

The 4 amigos left at 8am in our brand new and comfortable van. It was nice to discover new vistas on the way. We arrived in Tequila just before noon.  We went to our hotel called Solar de Las Animas. The rooms were not ready so we left the car there and went to the … More Mexico – Day 69

Mexico – Day 68

I had the worst sleep. After falling asleep at 10:30pm, I woke up at 11:30pm because of Pogo’s phone constantly beeping, then a truck kept revving its engine somewhere. I heard Mario and Josée’s guests leaving just before midnight and finally Pogo got up to go read in the living room because he couldn’t sleep … More Mexico – Day 68

Mexico – Day 67

Almost every morning I see a little bird sitting on a spiky palm right in front of our balcony. We walked to La Isla for breakfast. All the bougainvilleas were in bloom. I took a picture of a couple having margaritas at 10am. Pogo asked me why and I said it’s all about content. Graciela … More Mexico – Day 67

Mexico – Day 66

I woke up to another cloudy morning. They usually dissipate around 9am but lasted until noon today. I picked up the place before Marta’s arrival at 9:30am. Then we spent the rest of the morning planning and mapping our upcoming trip to Tequila, scheduling our week with the kids and finalizing plans with the landscaper. … More Mexico – Day 66
