There’s always a bug peeking around the corner. This is actually the driveway up to the indoor pool where Ouest trains. It’s a beautiful place situated on the top of a hill overlooking all this empty land. We’ve only gotten to see the train come by a couple of times, … Read More
Squeezed In
Lest you think we bought a house in Mexico to sprawl out with tons of space. Our house is about 7′ narrower than our catamaran. Granted, it is a bit longer, and taller. A lot of homes here are about as wide as a VW bug. In Centro they have … Read More
