Volcán de Colima
From Cuyutlan we decided it was as good a time as any to turn inland, get away from the heat, and see some of the cities and ruins of the central highlands. Not too far up the road is the Volcán de Colima. An active volcano that is constantly burping … Read More
Monkey Visit
We hung out at Boca Beach a bit longer, enjoying the beauty of the palms, and then headed south a few more miles to Melaque. Melaque and Barra de Navidad are on opposite ends of a beach a couple of miles long. Barra is a little more cobble-stone scenic, but … Read More
Cocodrilo!
After a night in Punta Perula on Chamela Bay, we continued southward. We stopped for the day in Tenacatita, or actually just down the road around the bay from Tenacatita. We had Ouest’s second birthday in this bay. It’s a nice campground, right on the water, with hundreds and hundreds … Read More

Semana Santa

There was a slow buildup throughout the week, but Thursday is when the flood came, and the partying kicked into full gear. I say it is like their Spring Break, but it’s really not like a bunch of American … Read More
The Easter Buildup
It’s was kind of funny watching all of the gringos pack up and leave in just the last couple of days. RVs loaded up en masse and hit the road, determined to get completely out of Mexico before the Easter holiday hit. I say it was kind of funny, but … Read More
