February has been a bit heavy around here, huh? After I got the sixth or seventh message telling me to cheer up, and that the bad times will pass, I realized that maybe I’m not giving you an accurate portrayal of how things are going around here. Which is, mostly excellent. As all my friends back home repeatedly dig themselves out of snowfall after snowfall, Mike and I are still loving the laid back Mexican beach life.
So, here’s a glimpse of our winter-time life in Mexico, a follow up to the first Life in Mexico post I made back in December, and a chance to spotlight some more photos that haven’t really fit in elsewhere.
Things that make us love living here:
Hibiscuses are everywhere around townMassive fireworks spectacle for the Festival of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Mexico’s patron saintFor the festival they had a parade every day for 12 days!Sailor dog from our trip to La Playa de AmorI took a mole cooking class and learned that mole is really hard to make.Our favorite Sunday beach spotKings cakeMike loves the coffee hereBelieve it or not this is not even the biggest bee I have found in our apartment. Horrifying.The most amazing blue corn tortillas from my favorite restaurant, YeikamePromotional poster for Sayulita’s first film and tequila festivalTaco truck dog tries mind controlQueso fundido: melted cheese that tastes like heaven but will probably clog your arteries on the spotMike bought me a rose for Valentine’s Day, it is still going strong a week laterTempting aguas frescasPaletas: mexican popsicles.
