Four Years and Counting
It has now been exactly four years since we kicked off The Happy Idiots tour by traveling to catsit for Seuss in Paris. Wow, time flies when you are having fun. We have done so much, seen so many incredible places , learned a few (or maybe a lot) of lessons the hard way and …
Two years and counting
A recap of our first two years on the road.
News, views and booze

Daylight Savings Us from the 6 a.m. Gym
When you woke up this morning you had somehow lost an hour of your life. When we woke up this morning, we had not. Time is relative. I think it was Einstein who proved this, although I might be confused. Last year, the Mexican legislature decided to do away with Daylight Savings Time. It is …
Our first visitor in Mexico City
Last week my daughter Abi came to stay for a few days. She spent the prior weekend in Mexico City for work and visiting with some friends. Once all the fun had ended, she came over to our place and stayed with us. She lives in London, so we don’t get to see her that …
