Hell’s Half Acre

We’ve been wavering about whether or not we want to drag the kids to Chichen itza. They’ve seen Coba, Palenque and Tulum and I wasn’t sure that they really needed to be dragged from one ruin to the next in 120F heat. Well, the 120 was a bit of an exaggeration, but with [...]

The days seem to run together into a huge blur. Every day I think of something to post but it usually escapes my brain before I get a chance to put it to puter.

The button on our camera which is responsible for taking the picture has taken its own vacation. We made the trek into Cancun to take it to Costco and hopefully exchange it for a new one. Heh heh heh, we crazy Americans. Costco is sending it out to be repaired, [...]

I liked Pike’s email to Andrew so much, I decided to post it here. It is so neat to see how they arrange their thoughts and how the express themselves… Plus, my drivel is getting quite boring. I really miss being on the road…
“I got your email - I hope [...]

Jamie and I have been going back and forth and back and forth trying to decide what we want to do. The place we’re staying at has very slowly, over the years, morphed from a dive shop and campground to an RV park to now a dive shop/restaurant/cabanas/rooms/RV park. There are many many [...]

The boys and Sissy have just finished up Chapter 4 of Mark Twain’s “Tom Sawyer”. We have read two of the “Little House” series of books; House in the Big Woods and House on the Prarie (those titles should be pretty close) but Mark Twain has a very distinct style of writing. There [...]
