Mexico – Day 42

Very lazy morning. Besides making breakfast, we were on our tablets until I went to Pilates at 11:30am. I saw Andrea, the other instructor, because the one I had seen before, doesn’t work there anymore. I actually really liked her so I will give it another try. Pogo went to the beach and I talked … More Mexico – Day 42

Mexico – Day 41

Happy Valentine’s Day! We left at 9:30am to do some errands. First a stop at Starbucks, then we went to Costco and La Comer. We also went to La Isla Shopping Center for the first time. It is an outdoor shopping mall but much smaller than we thought it would be with lots of empty … More Mexico – Day 41

Mexico – Day 40

On our walk this morning, we ran into a couple. The lady was very tanned except for the very white outline of the frame of her sunglasses. Her eyelids were tanned as well so maybe she had no lens? All I know is after passing them, Pogo and I looked at each other and burst … More Mexico – Day 40

Mexico – Day 39

After a few loads of laundry, we did our normal walk to Starbucks and brunch at La Isla. Besides our fruit salad, we felt like a BLT which is not on the menu. We explained what we wanted and they brought us a humongous sandwich with not only bacon, lettuce and tomatoes but grilled ham, … More Mexico – Day 39

Mexico -Day 38

Derrick and Deidre left the hotel at 4am to go to the airport and arrived safely in Oaxaca at 8:30am.  When Pogo and I went downstairs to have breakfast at 8:30am, we noticed that all the furniture had been moved.  We asked the girl at the front desk if they were having an event.  She … More Mexico -Day 38

Mexico -Day 37

We met for the included breakfast at 8:30am then left at 10am to spend the day in Tlaquepaque, a Pueblo Magico.  We walked on the main pedestrian only street and saw the most unique stores and restaurants. The street was full of unusual statues. We had a late lunch at Restaurante Casa Luna which had the … More Mexico -Day 37

Mexico – Day 36

Pogo left at 7:30am to walk around town before it got crowded. I started writing yesterday’s blog. Uploading my pictures has been an annoying issue on this trip. We met Derrick and Deidre for breakfast at 8:30am, took a taxi to the bus station and after an 4 hours ride, we arrived in Guadalajara at … More Mexico – Day 36

Mexico – Day 35

We left Casa Mia at 8am and walked down the hill to catch a cab to go to the bus station. Pogo had bought tickets online but never got a confirmation so we had decided to go early. It was a good thing because they couldn’t find us in their system. We bought 4 more … More Mexico – Day 35

Mexico – Day 34

We met up with Deidre and Derrick at 8:30am and walked around until we found a breakfast place. We found one called Mama Mia in a beautiful courtyard. Their cafe de olla was half coffee half chocolate and was yummy. After breakfast, we walked some more. The square was quiet because of being still early … More Mexico – Day 34

Mexico – Day 33

The morning was spent preparing for our trip to San Miguel: packing, cleaning the fridge and giving perishable to Josée, washing sheets and picking up in case Marta comes while we are away. Derrick and Deidre enjoyed a little walk on the beach and sitting in the sun. We left the condo at 1:00pm and … More Mexico – Day 33
