The state we are living in has 4 confirmed cases of the virus. We have decided to self quarantine along with most of our children’s classmates families. The last two days have merged together. We have them an extra day of home school on Saturday because on Friday, the kids were … challenging. This morningContinue reading “Day 66-67”

Day 62 was our daughters 10th birthday. I still can’t believe she’s ten, that went by fast. Over a month ago I told her that I was going to miss her birthday because I had to be in court on the 18th, 19th, and 20th. She took it like a champ with a stiff upperContinue reading “Day 62-65”

The last week we have vacationed in Mexico City has been very enjoyable and stressful. The response to the virus country by country is so different. I just read that Canada just closed its borders to foreigners. I’m praying that Mexico doesn’t close their borders to foreigners. We got the kids out of the hotelContinue reading “Day 61”

We are two months into this six month adventure. In many ways we are exhausted. But at the same time we are in awe of the things we’ve been able to experience with our children. Today is our last day in Mexico City, and even though this city is beautiful, and rich in culture, andContinue reading “Day 60”

Today we concentrated on the historic center of Mexico City. We drove into the city straight to the Palace of Fine Arts. There we got to see a lot of Diego Rivera’s murals, including my favorite “Man, Controller of the Universe”. I learned about this mural in English 7a class at Chabot College roughly 21Continue reading “Day 59”

I have had strange days in my life, but today beats them all. When we decided to move to Mexico, we had planned some trips within the country. Mexico City was one of those trips. For my daughters birthday we were going to do the same thing we did for our third child, swim partyContinue reading “Day 58”

TEOTIHUACAN!!!! Today we drove to the ruins of Teotihuacan. On the way there I was pulled over by Mexico City police for speeding and using my cell phone. They said they’d let me go if I paid them $8,100 pesos. It felt like a shake down. They took my e mail address down to sendContinue reading “Day 57”

The hotel room we “slept” in last night was warm. It was so warm, when we opened the door to walk in for the first time, a waft of stale warm air washed over us. I can’t sleep in a warm room. So in the middle of the night we researched the other hotel weContinue reading “Day 56”

Mexico City!!!!!!! Today we did ALOT! We got the kids to school, Bonnie did yoga, then took our second oldest to get his stitches out. I packed the remainder of our baggage, and an hour after we picked the kids up from school we headed to the airport. Our oldest read an article about aContinue reading “Day 55”

Today I had to get a ton of work done since we will be out of town Wednesday through the following Monday. Luckily my paralegal is worth her weight in gold and she has proven time and again that she is invaluable. I didn’t just leave my small law practice while we are here. IContinue reading “Day 54”
