Ouest turned four today. Ali mentioned how impossible it seems that it was four years ago that we were down in Puerto Vallarta walking across the street from our condo to the hospital to have her. Birthdays are kind of our thing. We don’t really go in for holidays, and … Read More
Missed Holidays and Engines
Today was the Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe, and we completely missed it. Which is a bummer because the locals really got into it. The plaza and cathedral were packed solid full of parents with their young children dressed up in traditional Mexican garb (which is why it is … Read More
