Blog 8 – Trouble in Paradise…

Sunday, February 22, and our mission (our destination) was a particular market (Tianguis Mojoneras), across town, our carriage by bus C24.

PV Blog Seven – Valentines and Beyond

Happy Love day, Valentines, Galentines, Friendentimes, Petentimes, etc. Yes, it was lovely for us, although we celebrated us in two different cities.

PV Blog 2 — Rube Mistakes and Tourist Tales

I packed in two phases. One was in advance, being efficient, thinking of what to take, medicines, counting vitamins, etc. Important stuff. The second run-through, the last minute, toothbrushes, toiletries, etc. Somewhere between those two (think of it as two separate legos without a bridge-conection) I slipped the threads a bit, but not to worry …
