Shredding waves daily. Ouest is currently our only surfer, but I think Lowe is going to come around here soon. I have to remind myself sometimes that he is a lot younger than her, despite the fact that he runs around with her all day trying to do whatever she … Read More
Revolution Day
Revolution Day is a fun holiday in Mexico. A lot of people dress up in the typical garb of the early 1900s, and everyone comes out to celebrate. We drove down to Puerto Vallarta for the day to go to the parade, where thousands of locals lined the streets for … Read More
This is a kids’ life
Down here, I love how much our kids get to be kids. They’re free to roam, they can walk over to a friend’s house/bungalow/tent/rv and yell out for them. They can hang out on the beach together. They can get soccer games going. Whatever. It all just feels very old … Read More
Sayulita Days
So this is pretty much what we’re up to these days. It didn’t take us long to slip into a routine. The kids wake up and wander out of the bus to play around the campground and have breakfast. After that we are off to the beach with boards, umbrellas, … Read More
Sayulita Tortugas
This is kind of random, but I just loaded pictures off of Lowe’s camera. Here’s what he saw this month. And now, back to Sayulita. This town is one of those places that a lot of our Bum friends seem to visit. Therefore we find ourselves with a pretty busy … Read More
Day of the Dead
This picture pretty much sums up the difference in energy levels between us. Home. Somehow we got it in our heads that there was a parade at 11:30 starting at the big cemetery in town. We arrived and found that wasn’t the case at all. And in retrospect, the idea … Read More
Pushing for the Coast
We spent a long few days making our way across the country. It’s a surprisingly long way from Mexico City to the Pacific Coast. After San Miguel we made the short fifty mile hop on over to Guanajuato. From there it was 200 miles to Guadalajara, which has, quite frankly, … Read More
Atotonilco
El Santuario de Atotonilco. This is where Hidalgo led his men after their fight for Independence began. From this church they took a banner of the Virgin of Guadalupe, and fought the Spaniards under this as their flag. The town of Atotonilco is a dusty Mexican town. On Sundays there is … Read More
Detour for Patricia
It’s time to get back to the beach. Our plan was to leave Teotihuacan today and begin heading towards the coast. Hurricane Patricia had other plans. So we headed a bit north and decided to visit San Miguel de Allende again. There are certainly worse things. Hot air balloons filled … Read More
Back to the Bus
That was a lot of travel just to get back to the bus. Probably should have just drove. The bus was just how we left it. I don’t know why we’d ever expect anything different. I don’t think we’ve ever left one of our vehicles/boats that we didn’t come back … Read More
