Up until a few months ago I was writing quite a few posts, but nothing was good enough to publish. I was really stuck in my head, and would go in circles. My blogs tend to follow the form of planning, doing, and recap. During my COVID year, I wasn’t able to plan. Today I…
Category: Mexico
It feels like being home!
When I was getting ready to leave Houston, I knew that I was going to want to self isolate when I got to Mexico. I bought a bunch of food to keep me going for awhile, and packed it all into a checked bag, totally violating my minimalist traveler ethic. These are strange times. A…
A Year of Nomadic Foods
After I sold my place in Honolulu, I was able to stay at a friends place until it was time for me to fly out. I really had no idea of when or even if I would be returning. I have to say, that during that time I ran around eating all my favorite Hawaiian…
Mexico to Honolulu: March 12-14, 2018
As much as I had a hard time getting used being in Guanajuato, it was that hard to leave. Packing up my stuff was easy, since everything was already assigned to a packing cube. I had to leave the condo very early to get to the airport in Leon for my 8:15 am flight. Ana,…
March 7, 2019: Visiting the Museo Ex Hacienda San Gabriel de Barrera
Moments before Rosa was to arrive, I got out my laptop and googled museums near me. I scrolled down the list until I found one I had not been to yet. I selected Museo Ex Hacienda San Gabriel de Barrera. At 2.2 miles from the apartment, it was a good destination for the day. On…
February 27, 2019: Street food, and artwork
I didn’t sleep very well last night, I really don’t know why. When I got up this morning I had a message from the apartment owner asking if Rosa could come a day early. My first reaction was to say that I wasn’t feeling well, and really didn’t want go out. Then I remembered that…
February 21, 2019: No Momias for Me
My neighbors upstairs had told me about a cemetery they recommend my visiting. Since it was my day to make myself scarce and let Rosa do her magic, I figured that today was the day to go. It would make a nice long walk from my apartment and back. Since there was plenty of food…
February 19, 2019: Seeking Sancho Panza
Okay, so that title is a little over blown, but sometimes it is hard to come up with good titles. Today I just needed to get out of the house. I finished my year-end paperwork (both my private and business paperwork) and loaded it up to the cloud. I didn’t need to leave for Rosa….
February 13, 2019: Thank goodness for Rosa.
Just like when I lived in Honolulu, I have a bad habit of being a hermit. In both cities there is a lot to do outside my front door. My ex-home in Honolulu and my rented apartment here both are so comfortable that I am truly disinclined to go outside. I am forced to head…
February 9, 2019: GTO
GTO not only was it a great car, but it is the abbreviation for Guanajuato, a great area of Mexico, as well as the town I am living in. It has been a while since I last posted a blog. Of course, that means I have several I need to knock out. I also haven’t…
