The Simpson Family Travels. Jungle Treehouse – Khao Sok National Park. May 1, 2013. Leaving the lovely Dolphin Bay Resort, we needed to decide if we were going to head over to the east-coast islands where we plan to make our longer term home on Koh Samui, or travel a bit further south and west to the treehouse hotel that looked so intriguing, followed by a visit to a the west coast before the rainy season hits there (apparently a good deal earlier and more intensely than on the east-side). Was amazing...

Hua Hin Beach Resort Town | The Simpson Family Travels
https://bdsimpso123.wordpress.com/2013/04/26/hua-hin-beach-resort-town
The Simpson Family Travels. Hua Hin Beach Resort Town. April 26, 2013. We checked into our hotel, http:/ www.myplacehuahin.com/. And headed out to explore the town. The town, while still bustling, is a very welcome reprieve from the hectic pace in both Tokyo and Bangkok. Highlights of Hua Hin. It was the first beach experience for the girls ever… and learning how to dig for clams, capturing hermit crabs, finding starfish and starting an ever expanding sea shell collection was the name of the game. The la...

Here you have (in chronological order) the thirteen posts I have written about the Mexican Bicentennial.

I have compiled this page is so that “Wrinting From Merida” followers will have a quick reference about this very important landmark – Mexico’s Bicentennial celebration…. The standard of the Virgin of Guadalupe under which the Insurgents marched. It is generally agreed that the fight f...

April 30, 2011. This short story is based on a true account Victoria lived in Cancun during the 1980s. Not much more than a girl herself, she found herself raising four children on her own. I’ll be on that bus so soon! Fifteen minutes to four. A quarter of an hour from now, Victoria would check the hotel time card, quickly peel off the very efficient-looking maid’s uniform, remove the regulation hair net, and step into the clothes she was used to. Two hammocks slung from one side to the other, the clothe...

After returning to the USA, Marisa pursued her degree and this fall she hopes to continue with a Masters in Community Development. Marisa’s small daughter Jayden was also with us on our trek through the hot, humid countryside. We pondered this on our drive back to...

Family and Friends | WRITING FROM MERIDA
https://joannavandergrachtderosado.wordpress.com/family-friends
May 24, 2010. Pork Chops with Figs and Chipoltle. One of my favorite activities is cooking. I enjoy making classic dishes but what I really love to do is invent new ones. My 93 year old mother-in-law has a mature fig tree outside her kitchen window. It isn’t much to look at but the scrawny little thing bears lots of juicy fruit. When I ask her why the plant does so well she replies (with total seriousness). Let’s sit by the window, I suggest and we’ll see if we can help the production! 8 large ripe figs.

Newer posts →. June 1, 2012 · 5:29 am. Yo soy # 132: What do they want? Many are asking, What does the ‘Yo soy # 132’ hope to achieve? The list is very lengthy, but if you have a close look at it, the demands are actually a petition for the implementation, proper functioning, monitoring and follow-up to resolutions for civil liberties that are already (supposedly) part of the Mexican Constitution and Charter of Rights. What are the Mexican people saying about the Yo Soy #132? Take depends on many variabl...
