It’s was kind of funny watching all of the gringos pack up and leave in just the last couple of days. RVs loaded up en masse and hit the road, determined to get completely out of Mexico before the Easter holiday hit. I say it was kind of funny, but … Read More
New Canada
There are a ton of Canadians in Mexico. Like ten to one versus Americans, it seems. And Quebec—what is the deal with Quebec? Does that whole province just get to leave for six months of the year? The population there must drop by half in the winter. The Americans down … Read More
Sayulita Life
We’ve very easily slipped into a routine here in Sayulita. In the morning, still in pajamas, we wander out to the beach where the kids play and explore before breakfast. After eating we walk around town a bit, ride bikes, and hang out at the playground. Home for the kids’ … Read More
Reconsidering Sayulita
We spent a day hanging out in Punta Mita with my mom. That’s always a fun little spot to spend an afternoon. Lots of beachfront restaurants, small waves, boats at anchor, and the mountains as a backdrop to it all. Our days spent there never disappoint. The day Grammy left … Read More
San Pancho
Grammy made it to town with dog in tow. We all hung out in San Pancho (San Francisco) today. The town is only five miles up the road from Sayulita, but is another world entirely. It’s pretty plain to see that once Sayulita is completely overrun it will spread out … Read More
San Blas Bugs
We burned some gas yesterday, for the first time since New Year’s Eve. Mazatlan has really begun to feel like a home base to us over the past couple of years—becoming one of the few places we can spend more than a week at a time in without becoming anxious. … Read More
From Snow to Sand
From sledding to sand in just a few hours. There isn’t much to like about flying any more, but bailing out of Minnesota and being thousands of miles south in one non-stop shot is worthy of some praise. I’d still rather drive it, but sometimes even I have to take … Read More
Snow Jumping
For an hour, being outdoors in Minnesota was fun. I took the kids sledding while Ali stayed behind. Ali isn’t the most safety conscious mother out there, but she is certainly a lot quicker to say be careful than I am. So when the kids went from halfway up the hill, … Read More
It’s Finally Flower Girl Day
We’re here for a wedding. February. Minnesota. Seriously. News of Ali’s sister Katy’s impending nuptials first reached us about six months ago. Since then not a day has gone by that we didn’t discuss it. Ouest was due to be the flower girl and Lowe to be the boy with … Read More
