A couple more days of just wandering the streets of Mexico City. Every few blocks there seems to be a Diego Rivera mural to go see. My kids’ fidget spinners. I’m looking for a business partner to help me with distribution in the U.S. Another fidget spinner. The guy says … Read More
Lucha Libre
A couple random days in Mexico City. We already had plans to go to the Lucha Libre (wrestling) match that night, so when we went to the park in the afternoon and spotted a autograph signing going on at a wrestler owned torta restaurant, how could we resist? Before we … Read More
La Condesa
Zip-lining using whatever few toys they can scrounge up. When we leave our home behind, we travel light. The kids each packed their small backpacks with books and toys. It’s not much to entertain them for a month, which leaves them to get creative. We were all excited for Laura … Read More
Temples Old and New
A lot of people who visit Mexico City stay in the outlying neighborhoods, but we always prefer to be right in Centro. We walk out the door and are immediately surrounded by interesting history, food, architecture, and people. After a couple of weeks in big cities we start to pine … Read More
Chapultepec Castle
The LatinoAmericana building stands alone in the Old Town Centro area of Mexico City. We’ve got a great view of it just a couple blocks from our condo, but we also enjoy popping up to the top for the view whenever we are here. Not sure how Mexico City ended … Read More
City Life
We left the Airstream behind at the campground and headed into Mexico City. As much as we love bringing our own home with us everywhere, there are just some places where that isn’t possible. Now, if someone would open up a campground in downtown DF (Distrito Federal), I’d be grateful, … Read More
Teotihuacán
Just on the edge of Pátzcuaro is a nice little hike to an overlook with a beautiful view of the lake and Isla Janitzio out in the middle. Back on the road after a few weeks in Pátzcuaro. It was right about here when our brakes went out again (by out, … Read More
When Good Times Go Bad
Sometimes I marvel at how well our kids get along. They tend to have one fight per day, lasting about five minutes, and the other 23 hours and 55 minutes are spent within five feet of each other, playing, laughing, and sleeping. We try and make them a picture book … Read More
Guitar Town—Paracho
Sometimes it feels like there isn’t anywhere we haven’t been in Mexico. We cover a lot of ground, but because we do it in an RV we are somewhat limited in the areas we can stay—and thus, the places we can visit. That’s what makes a road trip with just … Read More
Tie a Knot in my Taco
We spent a couple more days just hanging out around Patzcuaro. When Lowe gets a plate of tacos in front of him he always asks me or Ali what I consider to be about the cutest question in the world, “Can you tie a knot in my taco?” He needs … Read More
Quiroga Carnitas
On Sunday the town of Quiroga comes to life with a big market, and even bigger display of carnitas. Lining the road are the men who prepare the meat, each in their own special way, all of the delicious. They stand there cutting and slapping piles of meat on paper … Read More
