Hell’s Half Acre

Yesterday we drove to Guanajuato. Today I hope to purchase a new vehicle insurance policy because there is absolutely NO WAY we can leave this area. Due to the way that we drove through the mainland, Morelia “feels” so far away but is actually within a short day’s drive from here. It is so . . . → Read More: Guanajuato

We had a very easy time driving from San Juan Teotihuacan to Querétaro. The road was well signed and we didn’t get lost once. Imagine!! The scenery was simply amazing. Ribbons of green and spring green and brown on the bottom and grey and grey-blue mountains with overcast sky. Yellows and tans filled in . . . → Read More: Querétaro and San Miguel

The DF bypass from Puebla takes you to just about the top of the world. I thought we were high up in Cholula/Puebla, but leaving town (and don’t ask me why it took us FIFTY minutes to find the road we needed – the signs and maps here in Mexico are really lacking – . . . → Read More: Teotihuacan – The Pyramides

He was desconsolate and while we opened windows to take advantage of the terrific breeze blowing off the Gulf, he was certain he . . . → Read More: Pelicans along the Gulf

So, . . . → Read More: Edzna, Forts and Campeche

Today the boys and I spent the day at the ruins of Edzna. We stopped at a tiny town on the way home and got online to post that which we have here. I’ll update more later and post pictures for the other posts, but the Internet connection is so excruciatingly slow that I . . . → Read More: Edzna
