Chiapa De Corzo is located at the base of Canyon Sumidero (1Kilometer high ) and along the Grand Rio Grijalva. The bus ride from Guadalajara took 20 hours…and included a stop and transfer in Mexico City. I would have loved to explore Mexico city but it will have to be another time for that. […]

While I was researching “Multiple Intelligence theory” for my TEFL course, I found this book. It seems like a classic……..one of those books that is timeless!

Finally, the boat was ready to go! We were both SO happy to be pulling out of the marina. I can’t even tell you how happy we were! There is so much cement at the marina…..the sea brings a gentle expansiveness to life. We sailed to a little village that can only be accessed by […]

Party at Christmas

Christmas! It so didn’t feel like Christmas. I hardly ever got that Christmas “feel” But, as usual we had a blast. While Skip worked on getting the boat ready, I made up a salad (with lots of chopped vegies because by now, I have gotten quite good at it) and some salsa that Skip taught […]
