Utah Mom in Mexico

Utah Mom in Mexico. A story about a family that went to Mexico for a year. Sunday, July 19, 2009. Our last Saturday night. Almost the whole year we've kept up a tradition for Saturday nights. We'd head to the Ajijic. San Antonio or San Juan Cosala. And eat tacos at a taco stand. My favorite are in San Antonio. Dave, Jane and I get the Tacos Adobada. Riley, Charlie and Milli get the Bistek. With a spicy sauce on them. Dave likes the Tacos al. Best, they are pork done on a spit. A rice and cinnamon. July 2...

Utah Mom in Mexico. A story about a family that went to Mexico for a year. Thursday, July 31, 2008. Finally got a shot on the sly of Dave with his new facial hair. Well, half of it. Monday, July 28, 2008. We went to a party at the Lakeside Society. They were earning money for the art program they do. They had a clown for the kids and sold food from various restaurants in the are. Wednesday, July 23, 2008. Just another day (or two) in paradise. Sunday, July 20, 2008. Lastly, our cute little Charlie. J...

Utah Mom in Mexico: April 2009
http://utahmominmexico.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Utah Mom in Mexico. A story about a family that went to Mexico for a year. Monday, April 27, 2009. Update on Riley's Science Fair project. As part of Riley's project, he used a device made by Steve Spangler, a professional speaker, and one of Dave's clients. After the Fair, Dave sent Steve some pictures of the results and he posted them to his blog here. As you can imagine, Riley was over the moon. Manzanillo, Cuyutlan, and our 12th Anniversary. Beach one more time. Ruins near Tequila (check). The rest o...

Utah Mom in Mexico. A story about a family that went to Mexico for a year. Wednesday, July 15, 2009. Now that we're home. I guess I should catch up on the last month in Mexico. But we did make it for a late tour of Guadalajara after first getting on the wrong bus, and squeezing in a KFC (yuk) dinner. Unfortunately most of the tour was in the dark and hence no good pictures but here's what we got. This is a side view of the Cathedral that is featured on almost everything Guadalajara. The 2 spires.

Utah Mom in Mexico: November 2008
http://utahmominmexico.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Utah Mom in Mexico. A story about a family that went to Mexico for a year. Sunday, November 30, 2008. I hadn't planned on doing Thanksgiving this year. The kids had school. Turkey is really expensive. It's hot. (not that I'm complaining). And with no family here it just didn't feel like Thanksgiving. But some friends called us to see if we wanted to join them at the Lake Chapala Society's annual Thanksgiving dinner and we thought.why not? But plans changed when the LCS dinner was sold out. Jane has alway...

Utah Mom in Mexico. A story about a family that went to Mexico for a year. Thursday, August 6, 2009. In the opposite order of our arrival in Mexico, we left. The kids and I first flying to Utah on July 5th and Dave starting his drive on the 6th. Dave's trip was equally uneventful. He did choose a different route home though. Instead of heading for the Laredo, TX border crossing, he took the coast up to Arizona. Tope (speed bump) warning sign. We won't miss these. Hmmm hard to decide which way to go.

http://utahmominmexico.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Utah Mom in Mexico. A story about a family that went to Mexico for a year. Tuesday, January 27, 2009. First day of school. Friday, January 23, 2009. Back up to around Christmas. Here were our doll finders: (plus me). Not sure if we'll do the tamales, but you never know. I'd love to know how to make them. We also read the part of the Christmas story about the wise men. I don't think the kids had ever heard that part before. Except maybe the "We three kings" song. The extension of Christmas. We were so gla...

Utah Mom in Mexico: September 2008
http://utahmominmexico.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Utah Mom in Mexico. A story about a family that went to Mexico for a year. Monday, September 29, 2008. After settling in we went downtown to have a look around and visit the tourist office. I knew about a few things in the area to visit, but hadn't settled on an agenda. The kids didn't last long, but we walked around the city's three plazas and bought a new English/Spanish Dictionary, as we had forgotten ours at home. The jacuzzi in the room cheered up the kids and a book cheered up me. We asked the kids...
