end of the road


My road trip is done.


But I am still on the road.  At least, until I fly out from LAX later this morning.


Islagringo and I returned to Isla Mujeres on Thursday -- after a full week of doing our Hope and Crosby impressions.  The only thing missing was Dorothy Lamour and her sarong.


The road trip was exactly the type of travel I have dreamt about since I moved to Mexico.  New experiences.  Challenging days.  Adventures around every pothole.


I spent a portion of my travel day yesterday organizing how to present what I experienced.  And this is it.


Rather than trying to stuff everything into an artificial chronological box, I am going to write separate topical essays -- I suppose just another type of artificial box.


Here's the list.  We will see how well I stick to it.
  • Transportation
  • That new GPS
  • City people vs. beach people
  • Touring haciendas
  • Mayan ruins
  • Mummies
  • Driving the Yucatan
  • Eating our way through the peninsula

And who knows what else.


But it will be about Mexico -- the focus of this blog.


It feels good to be back in la silla.
