A Musical Adventure Kind of Day!!

A Musical Adventure kind of Day!!

Music!! It's so wonderful! It's so amazing how music can trigger so many kinds of emotion. It's so empowering. I love Mexican Music, Reggae Music, Rock & Roll, Classical, all sorts. Kids Love Music. Yesterday we were fortunate to see Bobs and Lolo. Angel knew them from Treehouse, I wasn't up to date as her and when Rebecca Coleman commented on my facebook page that Bobs and Lolo were going to be at Indigo Kids on Granville, well Angel knew who they were right away.

We had a great time. It's so important to expose your children to music, all kinds...it helps they're minds grow and grow and grow.
Here are Bobs and Lolo's Blog and Website. I want to mention I really like their website, it's very cool and well designed!!

Saying Prayers

We are saying prayers for the poor people affected by this terrible accident. So sad.

PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico - An explosion has rocked a Mexican resort hotel killing six people, three of whom may be Canadian tourists, Mexican officials said Sunday.

The natural gas blast occurred in the lobby of the 676-room Grand Princess Riviera Hotel in the city of Playa del Carmen around 9:30 a.m. Sunday.

Local authorities also said 15 people were injured.

Francisco Alor, attorney general for the state in which the resort city is located, said three of the dead may be Canadian tourists, while two others appear to be hotel employees. The sixth victim remains unidentified.

Vacationer Wanted

My video and res wouldn't load for some reason, I guess too many people trying to load theirs at the same time, but it would have been cool. Gives you something to dream about eh! Forty grand and travelling to exotic places to blog about it. Ah such is the life...theirs! not mine...but maybe mine...someday..if there was ever a time when this is going to become the norm it's now. Pretty amazing! What does the future hold. hmmm! http://vacationer.transatholidays.com

Missing Zipolite!

Friends are starting to make plans and make their way to Zipolite or are there already. Angel said she is missing the beach and is anxious to return to see family and friends, but also wants a Christmas here and want to see snow...how do you satisfy all that.

I don't know when we will make it back, I hope we do make it this year and soon,  but right now, I just haven't got a clue when, all I can do it pray and project.

I missed out on the Vacationer Wanted Contest. My video and resume wouldn't load, that dream job has slipped away. Would have been pretty incredible to get paid 40 grand to travel to exotic places and get paid for it. 

Not fair, that was my job. :(   With 40 grand I could have taken Angel with me...so I had a plan.

All well right now I have lots of other projects, so one must go with the flow, and hopefully we will be on the go sooner than we think. At least I have lots of pretty photos to keep my thoughts happy.

I'm getting pale as a ghost here though and the cold is mean to my bones...heat, I need heat! sun, sand, beach, a book and the occasional cerveza. Mexico I miss you!! :(

Mermejita Circus Videos!! Our Amigos de Zipolite!!

I just Lola, she's amazing. They all are!! Besos Paco, Santi, Lola...de Tina y Angel :)

Ta da!! this is the last post in a series...of AdventureZ in Mexico -The Movie!! Now if you were to look thru my blog, the videos go in order from the beginning to the end of our 2 journeys to Mexico.

I hope you like them. Be sure to look and share with your friends...because you never know what life has in store, and I just don't know how long I will leave this all up. Formerly we were Adventures of Angel and I changed all that. Hopefully people will continue to find this blog interesting and I will continue to blog...but if people don't read it, there is not to much point to it.

I'm going to try my hand at an e-book! Yikes...a little scary undertaking for me, but I believe I do have lots of valuable info about Green Travel with Kids to share...

Okay so take care, and please comment if you like this blog. No one ever comments, I don't know why...guess people are shy.

I hope you enjoy "The Movie!!"
Hopefully one day, I'll make a real movie!

* Side note, I have a hard time watching this one now, because of the part where Angel cries. The reason it's in there, it's real life. I don't want other kids to go thru this, it really was an issue that put a damper on the beginning of the trip. Of course we moved on, but she carried that event with her for 2 years until I was able to replace her little dragon. Moms, Dads, caregivers please don't make my mistake. :) Always check for toys!!
