Getting closer, folks. I have now caught up to MARCH blogging.

In an effort to speed up March, here is March in a whirlwind… First…just not-so-uncommon-but-I-still-find-funny daily life in Mexico…. The girls’ private bilingual...

In early February we were blessed to have another friend visit from Alaska!  Another fellow business owner from Skagway joined us for about a week, and we enjoyed showing her the interior of Mexico for the first time (she’s only been to beach towns).  Nicholle is a beautiful blonde that enjoys traveling as much as we do!
