My Covid Year +

Posted on 06/08/2021 by margrad80

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…

It feels like being home!

Posted on 10/28/2020 by margrad80

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

Posted on 09/06/2019 by margrad80

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…

March 7, 2019: Visiting the Museo Ex Hacienda San Gabriel de Barrera

Posted on 03/08/201906/11/2019 by margrad80

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

Posted on 02/28/201906/11/2019 by margrad80

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

Posted on 02/28/201906/11/2019 by margrad80

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

Posted on 02/26/201906/11/2019 by margrad80

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.

Posted on 02/25/201906/11/2019 by margrad80

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

Posted on 02/23/201906/11/2019 by margrad80

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

Posted on 02/06/201906/11/2019 by margrad80

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…

My Inconvenient Live

I am a retired American Merchant Mariner.  l was living a nomadic lifestyle somewhere between being a nomad and an expat, before Covid19. I moved from country to country as my visas ran out. This blog covered my travels and the random thoughts about life, technology, travel, and the Oxford comma. Now I am stuck waiting for the pandemic to pass. During this time my posts will have very little to do with traveling, and more to do with keeping myself entertained during lockdown.
