We have arrived at our winter home. All set up and enjoying the view and getting together with old friends....We arrived November 4th. after a long trip from Nogales, AZ to here in Mazatlan. Our first day, October 31st was just to San Carlos. We decided to stay three days to relax and rest up for the rest of the trip. With our new friends, Dale and Judy and their son, Alex we had a great time showing them what we love about San Carlos. It was the very first place we went in Mexico many years ago. It was in 1994. We parked on the beach and stayed three weeks. Met some amazing people and fell in love with the country. The people here are so warm and helpful. And we found that all the ... read more

I was up all night I had Montezuma Revenge sicker than a dog. I was trying to decide if I should come home or keep on going to my next stop Mazatlán. I had some pills that I always take just in case I get sick so I started taking them and by morning I was filling better. I didn't even have breakfast I just stayed in my room until 2:00 pm that is the time they would pick us up and take us to the train. The lady that runs the hotel came out and thank us for stay there I thought that was nice of her. We loaded on the train around 3:00 pm and I just went to sleep and I could smell some thing cooking on the meal care and it was ... read more

Jan 25th to February 2nd 2015 Mazatlan sun beach and Tequila. Very hot, lots of history but a city not a town to socialize with the locals. The costs of Restaurants, hotels and anything you buy much higher than Canada even with the dropping Canadian dollar. BUT the market is the place to shop.... read more

As told through my daughter: I was too young to see the obvious differences in our lives, but old enough to know how I felt about her. I loved when my mom brought me to play at Janeth's house. Her house was so different than mine and that made it exciting and fun; an adventure. Janeth's house always smelled so good. Her mom would be busy in the kitchen making tortillas, mashing avocados, slicing onions and cilantro. It was the most delicious Mexican food I'd ever eaten. I loved her tiny bedroom, just big enough to hold her bed, dresser and a window with a sun-catcher of a butterfly dangling. There was a hole in the wall, big enough to peek my head through and see into her brother's room. Janeth and her brother would shout ... read more

In two days it will be a whole month that we have been on the island. And on the 10th of December we have been away from home for two months. Sometime we have to pinch ourselves to see if it is all a dream. The weather has turned very pleasant and the bugs are less. Not altogether gone, but less. Most days we have a slight breeze, so it keeps the bugs away. They still come out between 5 and 6:30pm, so normally we just go inside for that time. Tonight we are going to BBQ the second fish that Gerry and Barry caught. It is called a Bonito. Never tasted it before and all the locals eat it, but it is a oily fish so we will see. Last Sunday we went in Barry's ... read more
