Our Mexican Adventure Part 1: Queretaro, Mexico (again!)
Everyone already knows how much I love Mexico. I travel there whenever I get a chance and it is always an adventure. There is so much to see and do there and I am feel fortunate that I have avoided the all-inclusives and have seen a lot of real, true Mexico. At this point, I … Read more
Day of the Dead Skulls, Crocheted-style
So I really really like Mexico. Everyone who knows me knows that. I could talk your ear off about that beautiful country. I also really love skulls, specifically more Day of the Dead-inspired ones.

Oh Playa del Carmen. I was always curious about you. I always wanted to see what you were all about; if what the people said were true. I can confidently say, the people did not lie. Playa del Carmen is a wild, busy, tourist town. If you are looking for authentic Mexico, it is not … Read more
Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Tulum is a great place to visit when you are in Quintana Roo. It is a cute little touristy town and of course, there are the Tulum Ruins. When we flew into Cancun and began the drive, we used Tulum as the first place to stop to get some food. Later in our trip we … Read more
