Today we packed up from the house we were at the last two nights and drove into downtown Mérida again. We wanted to see some sites we missed the day before because of the rain storm. We ate food at a not great place. Then we drove to a park called the “Park of theContinue reading “Day 160”

After taking a bunch of photographs of the kids near cathedrals and churches today in Mérida. I decided to post every photo I’ve taken of churches since we came to Mexico. Churches here are preserved, and revered. It’s beautiful to behold a church built in the 16th century that is still standing and being used.Continue reading “Bonus Entry. The Churches of Zapotlanejo, México City, Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende and Mérida.”

We went to bed extremely late last night. I am ashamed at how late it was. The kids slept until 10am. We eventually made it to the city center of Mérida. It reminded us of the city center of San Miguel de Allende. We were starving and popped into a restaurant adjacent to the middleContinue reading “Day 159”

Happy Father’s Day to my father and all of my close friends and family who are fathers. Today I woke up to one of my children twisting a balloon around to spell “DAD”. The noise was ear piercing, but after listening to that for 20 minutes, he left my bedroom and our youngest screamed atContinue reading “Day 158”

Today we said goodbye to our minivan. We bought a Toyota Avanza within three weeks of moving here. We told the dealer we were going to sell it back in less than six months. They gave us an alright buy back, it still makes good financial sense to have done it this way. Especially withContinue reading “Day 157”

What a day. We decided to take a day trip to a town called San Miguel de Allende. It’s a beautiful colonial town, and a Mecca for ex patriots. I saw more white English speaking people there than in our home town. We walked all around the City center. Because of the pandemic, all theContinue reading “Day 156”

Today we took the car to the dealership to see what they’d be willing to pay for it. They gave us a surprisingly good offer, and we accepted. We turn the car in Saturday. This Sunday we fly to the Yucatan, we rented a house right on the beach. All public beaches are closed, butContinue reading “Day 155”

Today we found a third scorpion in our house. The state we are living in is one of the top 5 states in Mexico for scorpions. I swept it outside and he was pretty upset. They move very fast, and that’s a fact I wish I didn’t know. After we got the kids dressed, weContinue reading “Day 154”

Today I worked a little and Bonnie did a work out with our daughter. They dance to a video on YouTube called Just Dance. It’s a video game that plays different songs and you have to dance to them a certain way in order to get a high score. My son is eating his breakfastContinue reading “Day 153”

We had a lazy day today. I was exhausted from the red eye flight and slept until 11am. We had breakfast and I worked a little. Bonnie hung out with the kids. We are planning a big trip to the Yucatán. Instead of using hotels, which most are closed, we went through AirBnb. We foundContinue reading “Day 152”
