Four days and just a little sleep This has been a busy four-day weekend for us and I thought I would give you a quick idea of what our schedule was like. Sue will fill in more details in the next blog, but for now I just figured you might like to see a timeline …

Our last weekend in Guadalajara
It seems crazy, but this is our last weekend in Guadalajara. Next weekend we are in Mexico City and then we head back to the U.S. on the following Thursday. The time here has just flown by. I took Friday afternoon off and met Sue in El Centro after her last day of school. I …
Un Puente
I didn't have school Monday. The kid in me was thinking, "Yay! Three-day weekend!!" (or what is called un puente in Mexico), but the cheapy in me was thinking, "Hey! I paid for a whole week of classes!" As it turned out, we just didn't have our field trip this week, so I am getting …
OMG! We have a social life
On Saturday morning we grabbed breakfast across the street at Pata de Elefante. They have wonderful breakfasts, and Sue and I indulged. They had a two piece band (guitar and saxophone) playing in the corner and it enjoyed a quiet morning. Afterwards, we headed to Zapopan which is a city that abuts Guadalajara, and it …
Lucha Libre!

Tequila Tour
Friday started out like a normal workday. Sue went to school and I sat down to work. Everything was fine until our cleaner noticed that the lights had gone out. I did not have the lights on and was working with my laptop, so I didn’t notice that the power was out. We tried various …
A relaxing weekend
Our drinks at De La O We started our weekend on Friday night by walking over to a bar called De La O Cantina. It is a pretty hip place with interesting drinks and tacos. One of the challenges we have found is that many of the places that we are planning visit do not …
Our First Weekend
I didn’t realize that it has been nearly a month since I wrote a post. Many thanks to Sue for keeping everyone posted on our plans and travels. This is our first weekend in Guadalajara so we figured we should pack it full. Friday night we decided to go out to eat, and quickly settled …
Estamos en Guadalajara
I know we've said this before, but we are lucky! Yes, our Fes plans got scuttled, but we made it out of the U.S. after a month-long stay in sunny Florida. Yesterday, we arrived in Guadalajara. We flew from Fort Lauderdale to Houston, where the plane was on time until 10 minutes to boarding and …
