What's One Thing You Like Most And The Least About Mexico

Here we are starting the month of March and the trees are budding and showing their leaves.  There were many years when it would actually start in the first week of February.  This winter was especially cold and long.  The grass is turning green and soon we will be back to a sunnier disposition.

The question I posed in the title, "What's one thing you like most and the least about Mexico? is just out of curiosity.  You can post your thoughts in the comments section.   I am asking because I think about that quite a bit.  Apart from the fact that Juan will never be able to obtain a U.S. residence visa, we really have never considered living in the U.S. again.  My like is that there is so much diversity in culture.  My big dislike is littering.

We are preparing to take furniture to San Miguel de Allende.  We swapped out nightstands we bought with those in one of the bedrooms here at home.  The new ones are a bit larger so the originals will fit much better in SMA.  While I was cleaning out the drawers in my nightstand by chance I came across a CD.  It wasn't marked so I thought it was blank.  I popped it into my laptop and lo and behold it has pictures of a West Texas trip we took 20 years ago.  Pretty much the same route we will be rving in April.  

This is a picture of our 1999 Trailmanor 3326.  It was a jewel along with our 1998 Pathfinder.  It not only was a great combination but the Pathfinder was my favorite SUV ever.  When we sold it, it had 675,000 km.  The woman who bought it still has it.  It just never ever failed us and pulled the trailer beautifully.  It was also the tow vehicle for our first 2004 Funfinder.  

Some of you may not be familiar with Trailmanor.  It's a hard-sided folding travel trailer.  Ours was 33ft open and 26ft closed.  It did everything a regular travel trailer does.  The pictures were from a Christmas trip.  I remember it like it was yesterday.  The pics were taken at Seminole Canyon State Park in Texas.  

Funny the things you find when you are cleaning out or getting rid of "stuff".  I still think I could live out of a box.

Last week was Juan's 64th birthday.  Although we don't go out to crowded public places we found a new restaurant called "Save", the name comes from the town Guasave, Sinaloa.  It is a seafood restaurant and we really enjoyed it.  It's light and airy and the food, as well as the service, is excellent.  The drinks are well-poured too!  It was fun getting out and being around people.

We didn't get out on our Sunday hike last weekend as it was cold and raining.  Bummer.  This Sunday we are going to drive our route to Texas for Spring break but only around the city as we can no longer drive through Monterrey with the trailer.
