Look what I found in an old pole barn today. Amazing that people have these sweet cars and just let them sit in a barn, isn’t it? Actually, this is our one and only possession in the world that we have no intention of ever parting with. When we drove from … Read More
Minnesoduh
Lowe puked on Thursday. I followed suit on Sunday. And seven days after Lowe, Ouest let loose all over my dad’s kitchen floor. This, as far as I’m concerned, is Minnesota in winter. The place is hell—froze over. In the past two weeks we’ve spent less than an hour outdoors, … Read More
Barroom Brawl
This particular tooth will not be missed. Ouest first smashed that tooth at age two, and it wouldn’t catch a break the rest of its life in that mouth, hitting pavement at least two more times. The last time left it sticking out at weird angles and required a trip … Read More
Minnesota in February
We thought a vacation to somewhere beautiful like St. Paul, Minnesota would be a wonderful way to escape the dreary Mexican winter weather. Oh, and Ali’s sister is also getting married. So, those are the two reasons we’re in Minnesota in February. Again. Before we left we did a little … Read More
Around Maz
No job around the bus gets done without the “help” of small hands. Lowe is helping me stand on a ladder here. It’s beautiful Mazatlan weather, so clothing is pretty much optional as a general rule. She’s got four loose teeth at the moment. The two top fronts appear to … Read More
Mazatlan Days
The past few days I’ve been working on some things in the morning while Ali takes the kids on excursions, or just hangs out at home. In the afternoons we tend to just hang out at the bus playing mud coffee, or lock Papa up in jail, or coloring, or … Read More
Young and Old
As far as RV parks go, this one is pretty good. Right smack dab on the beach, but also right on the main road through town so the bus can zip us out of this area and down to the Old Town area in just a few minutes. Best of … Read More
Death Spots
I went to the doctor yesterday. Dermatologists are doctors, right? She pulled on her special x-ray goggles, looked at me, and asked without a hint of sarcasm, “Do you spend a lot of time in the sun?” “Umm, define a lot.” Yeah, I think it’s fair to say I spend a … Read More
Routine Days
It’s been a pretty quiet few days around here. We usually get out and do something in the morning, then hang around the bus in the afternoon before playing on the beach and swimming before dinnertime. The beach around here was slammed by a couple of hurricanes this summer, and … Read More
Neue Freunde
A couple of days ago a German family came rolling in and parked up next to us. Out of their VW rolled a girl and a boy, each just a few months younger than our own. This friendship did not take long to blossom. She was totally focused on picking … Read More
Mazatlan Tour Guides
This is the third or fourth time Ali’s parents have visited us in Mazatlan. On this visit Ali and I realized just how much this place feels like a hometown to us now. We have at least a dozen restaurants that we like. We’ve got the market for all our … Read More
