🇲🇽Yucatán, Let’s Pause Here a Minute🐚

!Feliz Cumpleaños! 🎂
Due to its timeliness, I am once again breaking into our regularly scheduled calendar of events… Why?

Three & a half weeks was not nearly long enough to take in the beauty & grandeur of this quaint yet bustling town. SMA was the perfect spot to get started on this adventure, a bit of comfort in the expat community with plenty of opportunities to learn how things work & gain the courage […]
🇲🇽 Mexico Landing ✈️ *Afterthoughts, Mistakes & Unexpected Upheavals
🇲🇽 I went back & forth a dozen times trying to decide from where to continue… from the beginning? May? Our first destination, Pagosa Springs? I even began to confuse myself, so after much “choice paralysis” I am just going to start where we are, or close to it… Our Mexican arrival 🇲🇽 We left […]
