Welcome to our site!
Our goal with this site is to keep family and friends updated on our adventures. We want to stay connected with you! We hope to use this blog as a way to do that.
We will be sharing our thoughts on why we decided to do what we’re doing, how we decided to go where we are going, and then let you discover and explore the areas with us as we post images, videos and thoughts about what we are experiencing.
If you have questions or just want to get a hold of us, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Lizzie’s been to the Vet. Carma’s been to a Chiropracter, two different Specialists, a General Practioner, and a Dentist. I’ve been to an Otorrinolaryngologist. (That’s the short name for an ENT Specialist)
We did all of that in the short time we’ve been in Mexico. Some of it was planned before we came down and some of it was “life happened” stuff.
Although this post isn’t directly about our current travels, we thought we would share one of the most useful exercises we did last summer that has proven invaluable to us as we make decisions on this life journey.
We had just sold our home in Golden and were now traveling with our popup camper in tow, across the States, visiting family along the way. Our destination was to eventually get to North Carolina and explore potential small towns that had piqued our curiosity. We also know we were interested in exploring potential expat options, as well.
On December 18th we left Lizzie (our puppy dog) in Mexico and traveled to the States for a month.
Leaving our dog in Mexico felt very weird, yet we knew she was in good hands.
We found the best pet sitters through a Facebook group called House/Pet sitters in Mexico. Christina, Tony & William (their 2 yr old son) took great care of our house, and loved on Lizzie till we returned Jan 19th.
We’ve been here three months.
Wow! That went fast.
The first 6 weeks in Merida were a blur of immersion in culture, language and sights and sounds and tastes of a place completely new to us. Exciting, wonderful, stretching, thought and discussion provoking, we were breathless.
Coconut water everywhere and not a drop to drink! That is, until our neighbor Aaron stopped by and asked us if we liked it. Si!
The next day he comes with three coconuts and his machete and we have coconut water.
