Alan’s family joined us for the week

Jan. 23rd - Alan’s family joined us for the week, with 3 under 3 and one in the oven we had an active week :-). It was great to have them here!

De Corazon

De corazon (from the heart)
I am totally amazed at the number of people who visit my blog.  I have no idea WHO visits but I can see how many people do.  I feel honored to have you join me on my journey around the world in 2020.  My future blogs will continue to be honest & from the heart.  

Freedom

Freedom - well the obvious is I’m no longer tethered to work e-mails...aaahhhh.
I feel free here for other reasons too.  I don’t carry a purse, I just put some peso’s in my pocket & go (and peso’s go a long way here).  
I also walk everywhere, it’s healthier, it provides time to look and think.  I stop for coffee & chat with the locals.  We sold both of our cars before we left, we take a taxi from time to time here but I prefer to just walk...

End of the day...

A sunset and a glass of wine, what a nice way to end the day!

Hanging with the locals

Jan. 17th - most of the large crocodiles here (up to 18 feet & weighing up to 2,000 pounds) hang in a near by sanctuary where they are protected.  Some of the smaller ones can be seen in the ocean by our condo, one decided to enjoy our pool a few years ago.  They sometimes hang out in the marina which didn’t turn out well for one of the resturant owners black lab while swimming there.

Another day that I didn’t miss work..

Be Calm

Jan. 15 - Since I’m not working anymore I have time to get in shape!  It’s not for vanity reasons, I want to be able to go on an adventure when I’m 80 :-)
