We have a love hate relationship with the Maya Riviera. When we arrived this year we were aghast at the multitudes of RV’s here at PaaMul and were SO GLAD that we hadn’t purchased a lot here. In 2005 we had very seriously considered 3 specific lots but at the very end [...]

(at 7:30am) “No, Papa and Tata aren’t here. I don’t know when they’ll get here. Go back to sleep.”

The kids are saying that today is just like Christmas. They’ve been on tenderhooks all day long and when the sun finally set they all rejoiced as all the days of waiting are now over and they’ll be seeing their beloved Papa and Tata tomorrow.

Brushes with fame here in Veracruz. Right now we’re camped next to Eric, Sarah and Bruce of Van on the Run fame and a couple days ago, met up with John and Anita of Viva Veracruz. The campground here in Catemaco is, if possible, almost as tranquil as the one at El Carrizal. [...]
