Take an Ice Cream Break

Everyone needs an ice cream break.

Head for the Hills

Carrie is responsible for most cool things we do.  I’d be fine hanging around the area where we’re staying.  It never fails that I’m glad we go with her ideas instead.  This time it was Mazamitla, “The Mexican Alps”. It was to be a two hour drive, construction turned it into almost three.  This picture… Read More Head for the Hills

Watch a Parade

Chapala had its Revolution Day parade today.  It was LONG.  And fun.  Somehow iola stayed in there for the whole thing, which took over two hours.  She’d normally be throwing in the towel long before that, so she must have been entertained. The main theme of the parade is dressing up, mostly kids, in period-appropriate… Read More Watch a Parade

Appreciate People

We enjoyed a meandering, lakeside Sunday in Chapala today.  Everyone we’ve met since crossing the border has been really, really nice.  If I ask about various menu items at a restaurant, servers will often get the food and show me the difference versus just explaining it.  When we’ve needed help finding something, people are more than… Read More Appreciate People

Visit Poncitlán

We’re settled in and relaxed at our temporary home.  It was a very productive first week here.  I even caught wind of a local restaurant that delivers food to our area on Thursdays.  For those of you from the US, it’s like fresher, delicious-er, much cheaper, Schwan’s delivery.  Fruit empanadas, so good they were partially… Read More Visit Poncitlán

Smile at Mexican Road Signs

We love Mexican road signs, even if not many of the messages are heeded. Here’s a collection of road signs with my very, very official translations. DON’T DRIVE TIRED, YOUR FAMILY IS COUNTING ON IT Note: many, if not most, signs are bent on the end.  It’s common for driver’s to drive on the shoulder… Read More Smile at Mexican Road Signs

Meet the Mexican Midwives

Today we met the midwives who will be delivering our baby in Guadalajara.  They were fantastic and we couldn’t be happier!  Gracias, Maria y Lupita! I’ve driven in some big cities, but Guadalajara was intimidating to me (in my imagination).  Is it a little crazy?  Like do you see mopeds and occasionally cars driving the… Read More Meet the Mexican Midwives

Settle Into a New Home

After being on the road for a couple weeks it’s nice to be at home.  It’s our temporary home near Lake Chapala, south of Guadalajara.  Carl the car was in need of a break too.  Poor guy got a good workout with all the potholes and unmarked speed bumps.  Turns out he’s a low-rider too,… Read More Settle Into a New Home

Practice Being a Big Sister

iola likes her doll to go down the slide much more than she likes to go down the slide.  She counts uno, dos (as pictured), tres, and somehow those three numbers in Spanish melt my heart.           -Ryan

Don’t Stop Clicking the Shutter Button

Don’t click to see this post unless you really like pictures of our child (BTW, this is why we don’t post much on Facebook–we at least like to offer the option of whether or not you want to see an overwhelming amount of pictures of our child : ) Here’s a series of photos by… Read More Don’t Stop Clicking the Shutter Button
