Time is a strange thing here in Bucerias. In the morning, I wake up and make breakfast for Ronnie and myself while the "boys" go for a walk on the beach. We have breakfast then take a dip in the pool and oh my gosh! It's only 11:00am. Then in the afternoon, we do freelance work, draw and read and then oh my gosh! It's only 2:00pm! Next we have lunch, watch a movie or work on art and oh my gosh it's only 4:00! So I start to think about what to make for dinner...make it and watch a show and oh my gosh! Conan is over and we are watching Jimmy Kimmel and it is 11:30pm! How did that happen? That pretty much describes every day for us here in Bucerias. We haven't been ... read more

We are 200 kms from Guadalajara. A flat tire on the HD (of course...) prevented us from reaching our destination yesterday. Luckily, our brother Luc is making a delivery of a new tire this morning so we can pursue our journey. Otherwise, we would have visited "Tepic" for too long a stay, although Andre doesn't seem to mind the late night scenery here. Otherwise, a worry free 12 hour ferry crossing of the Mar de Cortes to Mazatlan during the night (my very first "cruise" - I had to leave the "too claustrophobic for my taste" cabin to sleep on the deck and watch the stars... Bonjour la gang,le voyage est toujours aussi extraordinaire.L'autoroute payante est tres payante, genre 16.00$ par moto pour pas long au Mexique.Tres beau bateau que nous avons pris et tres propre.Andre ... read more

It is dark outside. Maybe 10 o’clock, maybe 11. Who knows? For all I could guess it might be 3AM or how ‘bout 9PM. There are no clocks around me, only a lace of mosquito netting cascading over the large bed like a whale’s mouth around a school of fish. Everything manmade is mute. There’s not a sound except nature—roaring nature. I hear the ocean pummeling the shore; waves peeling atop barnacled rocks and round bulbous stones the size of Smart Cars. And there are crickets; humming and buzzing, strumming and rustling. It’s a full-force ensemble, but it does not bother. Instead, it soothes. It mellows. It drifts me back off to sleep as I roll over and spoon the naked body beside me. Sometime, the sun will rise. The light of day will slowly weave ... read more

Hi Friends and Family, We have finally got internet access on the last day of our holiday in Mexico. We have had a fabulous time whale watching, sun-tanning, snorkeling, boogie boarding and hiking around Nayarit, Mexico. We have met lots of great people and Steven got his money´s worth of alcohol at the all-inclusive bar. We have all been enjoying guacamole, fajitas, giant prawns, and even some grade A Alberta beef at the local hangout - Tequila Willy's. We have been to tourist markets, local markets, five beaches and one island destination. All in all, a great trip. I will post the photos when I get back home..... The photos have been posted. Our Hotel is Decameron Los Cocos in Rincon de Guayabitos, Riviera Nayarit. While it was only a 3-star resort, it was much better ... read more

We arrived back home to our “Mansion on Wheels” or our mini home in LaPenita on Jan 14th and it was a wonderful feeling. It is amazing how close you can get to people that were strangers just a few months ago but you get 240 people living a rabbit warren (if that’s a word) what can you expect. You know each other pretty well. Our wonderful friend, James was at the airport waiting for us. We drove up to LaPenita from Puerto Vallarta, dropped our stuff here and then we jumped in our truck and drove John and Sharie to their accommodation in Chacala. Chacala is about a 20 minute drive from here. A very small town with a few restaurants, a couple of tiny stores and a beautiful beach. I think it was a ... read more
