Tuesday May 14 - These past 3 days have been exhausting for me. I invested Monday and Tuesday moving out of the house that I have been housesitting at for the past 3 months. I may have just been housesitting but in the almost 3 months I stayed there I have set up things a lot. So I had to get all of my stuff out and groceries and stuff out of the fridge, etc., out as well, which turned out to be quite a chore. As I loaded my truck and then pulled away I felt a great deal of sadness. We have had so many good times there over the years. And countless happy moments. After taking the stuff out I went over to my sisters and I visited a bit and rested. The ... read more

April 20 – 21- Denver to Glenwood Springs, Hanging Lake, and Hoosier Pass – Yesterday we drove West of Denver on I-70 and through the beautiful Glenwood Canyon to Glenwood Hot Springs from Denver and after an overnight stay drove back towards Denver and stopped at Hanging Lake where my nephew and his girlfriend hiked up the very steep and rocky trailhead to Hanging Lake. My brother in law and I dropped them off and while they did their hike drove back to Glenwood Springs and bit west of it exploring. We found a nice lake with red cliffs around it west of town and checked it out. After that we drove back into Glenwood Springs and had a good look around. As always on a trip I do some homework for next trip. Next time ... read more

April 18 – Thursday - Nice day today. It snowed yesterday but this morning at 7:30 the sky has cleared and a warm sun has come out and it is very pretty. Today the high is supposed to be in the middle thirties and tomorrow and for the rest of our stay it shows to be in the mid 50’s during the day and teens at night. It’s quiet here. My brother in law Bill was up at 5 but is now napping on the couch. My nephew Billy is upstairs doing some work on his computer. I am taking care of my first priority each morning which is to make my tea. The snows of yesterday have melted off on the roads so that’s good as it means I won’t need to worry about driving ... read more

Wednesday Febuary 20 – Catching that big bird home - The plan for today is to walk down to the bus stop on Lazaro Cardenas street a bit East of Puerto Paraiso Mall and catch one of those white buses with a green stripe (not a Colectivo bus), and take it to the Airport for my flight home. I had my usual oatmeal with cinnamon for breakfast and then after browsing the web a bit I packed up my bags the rest of the way and left a huge pile of stuff on the counter here that I don’t see any sense in taking home. Items such as sugar, cereal, oatmeal, fruit, microfiber towels (which I have tons of at home) and etc. I also left a M$100 for the maid as well as let her ... read more

February 18 – Monday – La Paz to Cabo – Today I checked out of the Pension California and went to the Tourista Terminal on the Malecon. It was a pretty good walk and I stopped a few times along the way to rest and catch my breath from dragging my suitcase and carrying my computer bag and a full grocery bag. It is a pain carrying all this stuff but I try to eat healthy and that means not eating out overmuch. I also stopped so I could enjoy the view of the bay a bit before I left La Paz. At the Terminal Tourista I bought a ticket to Cabo San Lucas via Todos Santos. The ticket was M$220 ($17). It left at 11:00 and it was a 3 hour trip. When I got ... read more
