What can I possibly say!?!? It’s been several years since I was in Oaxaca. Looking forward to the experience here, I was eager to see a new area that is rapidly growing and gaining popularity! This morning, I took a walk in that direction! And around seemingly every corner, there was mural art on the […]

Teotihuican near Mexico City. Inspiration for “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz. It’s been several years since I traveled to Mexico to wander! In June, I found room still available in Oaxaca for Dia de Los Muertos. It was a bit challenging receiving confirmation, lodging places still reeling from the effects of Covid! With
Finally! Re-learning how to plan a “wandering” trip to Mexico! Read More »
A clue! Yes, a clue! An adventure looming on the horizon. I’ll post more in coming days. Testing and Playing! For now, I’m testing and playing with a new way of consistently laying out my posts. It will make it simpler for me, is flexible and, hopefully, be faster when I have poor internet speeds
Actually, I have tomorrow but it is moving day so that’s different. I have an early flight Thursday and with traffic, I’m moving closer to the airport for one night. That will give me a new neighborhood to explore as well. Today, I made it to Teotihuacan. I took the local bus to the Del
My final travel day in Mexico! Great experience! Read More »
The name simply has a nice ring to it, Cuernavaca! Sounds old, authentic and somehow real Mexico. When the bus arrived, we really hadn’t. Cuernavaca has been the victim of urban sprawl and it was a long way from the edge of Cuernavaca to Cuernavaca! With the sprawl, I had read that the city
Cuernavaca and weekend. Read More »
Nice challenging test today! In Mexico City, my let hurt so much I had to stop every ten minutes or so and sit or stretch. After the massage work today, I decided to test it again. After all, I am here today in Tepoztlan and this weekend, crowds descend on the city and the trial
UPDATE…now, with actual photo’s rather than blank spaces. Really slow wifi last night kept disconnecting! The photo above is from a weeknight when the street is actually really quiet! Interesting, yes! Pricey, yes! Not my favorite place to be. I don’t much like big cities, preferring the more intimate connections of smaller villages. Mexico City
I’m a bit overstimulated after being here more than a week. Every evening, something is going on and crowds grow so large, it is difficult to move about. As the week neared the end and the Dia de los Muertos, tourist crowds grew even more. Nothing personal but Oaxaca is a different city and a

Clouds gently brush past me here on the patio in San Jose del Pacifico. It’s moist and it’s cold! And, it’s mid-afternoon! No wonder many cabana’s here have fireplace! This is a very quiet little village! Not much going on here! I decided to stop here for a night or two on my way to

Tonight, finally, I have good WiFi. They actually got a new service installed last night and it is surprisingly fast compared to past experiences! Found good gelato before leaving Zipolite! Pluma Hidalgo is coffee country in Oaxaca. There are a lot of coffee farms around! Tomorrow morning, I’m being picked up and going to visit
And now in Pluma Hidalgo Read More »
Clever that I am, with extremely slow internet here, I wrote the words to a new post on my laptop and posted it to notepad. That way I could copy it here and then add photos. Great idea! I have the photos on my iPad but….. Apparently the notes didn’t copy. So I’m writing in
