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…
February 5, 2019: A day in the Museo
Though I would have rather stayed home and continued to work on my novel, today was cleaning day. Rosa didn’t come last week, so she came two days early this week. At 11am I headed out, so as not to get under her feet. I really didn’t need to go shopping today, but figured after…
