Tonight is our last night in Los Cabos and we had dinner with family. I’ll miss mi Catalina but I must come back soon with David to check out wedding venues. So “see you soon girlfriend!” Have you ever wondered what living in Mexico is really like? For the most part, it’s just a nicer…… Continue reading Livin’ La Vida Local

Last Sunday came with a change in my living situation. David went back to America and my Mom arrived for her two weeks’ vacation in Cabo.

He taught me some new words, like…… Continue reading I am comprometida. We are comprometidos.
