A note from your favorite blogger: I originally began this post on the morning of Sunday, October 10th. That Saturday, my dog Lola (who was home with my 2 brothers while I was on vacation) had been rushed to the Vet for heavy breathing and lack of mobility. X-rays were taken and an enlarged heart…… Continue reading Bittersweet [pre-mature] end of vacation

¡Vivir mi vida! The second part off our 2-day tour with Sea & Land Tours Loreto was a boat ride to Isla Coronado, a national park 15 minutes off the coast. We waited for the boat with the rest of our group (no tur privada this time) under the blue whale statue and smiled when…… Continue reading Last day in Loreto: [sea]Lobos, La Isla Coronado and Love

No caption kind of caption As with all vacations, staycations or temporary residence relocations to the Mother Land, it’s time to go back home. I have seen so many things and experienced more than enough to keep this little blog chugging along for the past month! And I’m excited to get back out into the…… Continue reading Hello Pink Supermoon, Goodbye Mexico…

Saturday morning we hitched a ride with Ray and Bonnie to the Farmers Market. San Jose is really a small town and a lot of the people that were there last week were also there this week. It’s fun to walk around and people watch. It’s not fun to run into the Band Groupies from…… Continue reading Saturday = Ladies Night

Thursday started with a mini-migraine. Not the full blown lie-in-a-dark room-kind but more of a “I need some Excedrin STAT“ kind. I called in sick to work and decided to just take it easy. Haven’t I been doing that all month long?! Jajajajaja. At 4:30pm, Maye gave Mom and I a ride to the Art…… Continue reading Good vibes all around

Yesterday started off relatively uneventful but the realization that we’d be going home in 7 days hung over our heads. Just as I was getting into my work groove, the internet went down around 9:44a. I know the time because my Mom suggested I head over to Tia Maye’s condo to use her internet from…… Continue reading Do I have to go home?!

For a few weeks, my primo Paul has been promising to take us to an off-the-grid beach or anywhere the tourists don’t typically get out to. But life and commitments come up and Mom and I are just happy to go with the flow. On Saturday, he and his daughter Catalina (my familial spirit animal)…… Continue reading Best day ever!

Friday, y el cuerpo lo sabe. We went downtown to grab dinner at Baja Brewing and to try some other types of beer they sell. Mom is determined to like beer after spending a month with her beer-drinking-daughter; but I have failed her in this lesson as I’m stuck with Mexico’s version of Coors Light:…… Continue reading Livin’ like locals as guests of Farmer’s Market royalty
