Finally! After 5 long years we are back in our beloved Mexico.
I have missed it so bad. I am so happy to be back. I have so much to share. But I will only write a bit right now.
We started down on Sept 27th. We flew from Vancouver to Cancun and stayed 2 nights at the Alux. Then we took an 5 bus ride to Merida. We decided to push on, and spent 4 hours in the bus depot and took a 8.5 hour night bus to Palenque. There I got a room at our favourite place Kim Balam. It's so cool. Close to the ruins and you can hear the Howler monkeys. It rained tons and the little creek by our cabana got so high I got a little scared but it was all good. We had a great day at the ruins and ate great food at Don Muchos at the El Panchan. From there we went to San Cristobal on an 8 hour bus, they don't go through Ocosingo anymore they go around and through Villahermosa. In San Cristobal we spent one night at Le Git de Sol and then spent a great day wandering the streets and checking out all the markets and shops. We had cappuccino at the Gazebo in the Zocalo...the same place I had my first back in 1990. Then we took the 10 hour bus from San Cristobal to Huatulco and had a lovely breakfast and a little tour of the town and then we got in a van to the crossroads in Pochutla and a taxi to Zipolite! And here we are! It was a tough trip traveling so far so fast but rewarding with so many sights and experiences. I have ton of photos to edit and videos to make but internet is slow after the earthquake. So I will do the best I can.
Sending out love and light to you all. So happy to be here again. Home again. Zipolite is my Mexican home, it's where my child was concieved and I have brought her back when she was 6, 7, 10 and now 15. We are here for 5 months.
We will be homeschooling and I will be doing online work. If you need a website or business cards or social media help let me know.
So here's a few photos of our trip. Stay tuned for more Adventurez In Mexico.

Okay, now Let's get on the plane. Here's the movie! "Adventurez in Mexico" is the title. About a child and her mother's journey to Mexico.
Here's a little preview. In 1999, after burning out on her job and then laid-off, Tina -who is a Canadian- takes a trip to Mexico. She returns and takes a web design program only for the Dot.com crash to happen 2000.
She thinks maybe she can do web design in Mexico, but while there, a big fire happens. She meets her the man who will a later become her daughter's father. They try to have a baby but nothing happens, and Tina returns to Canada.
While in Canada she's offered a job in the U.S, that pays really well but the fact that's she's 39 and may never have a child eats at her. She passes on the job and heads back to Mexico to live as an artisan with her friend- the future father of her child.
Only it's impossible because 911 happens and there are no tourists. After only a month in Zipolite she realizes she can't make it work and goes to Bucerias to do web design for a friend.
Here she realizes her prayers have been answered (she'd been saying the Rosary like 10x a day or more) she is pregnant. The child's father can not come to Bucerias, he is very poor and wants her to wait, but it's Christmas and Tina goes home.
She has the child, and names her Angel, (works well in Canada and Mexico-but gets surprised looks in both countries ;) .
It's a struggle raising her by herself. Angel's mother and father lose contact during the years, but Tina sends messages on the internet looking for him.
Tina's mother passes away and feeling that Angel has very little close family searches even harder for Angel's father. On Mother's Day in 2007 she opens a email from the father. They keep in contact.
Tina believes it's critical Angel knows her father before she starts school.
So having very limited funds she buys tickets and takes off for Mexico to learn about Angel's culture and to meet her father. The emphasis is on learning her culture as Tina knows that things may not work out the same as they dream.
This Documentary- Adventurez in Mexico- is the first 11 days of their journey.
