Recent Happenings

Since I last wrote, I have traveled to the beach at Manzanillo, the state of Chiapas, Santa Rosa and San Francisco, CA, and Mexico City (again). Thankfully, this week I didn't have to travel since I was so worn out from said trips, and I felt like I was close to losing a lung from so much coughing. I have mostly recovered now, though, and am happy to have had the chance to stay home. However, I would like to share some pictures with you, both of my travels and my domestic life. These will be followed by a link with more pictures shortly.

Jessica, Edwin, Oscar and I in Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapas on a festive Sunday night.

At the Palenque ruins, wishing someone would uncover the rest of it (and remove some of the tourists).

In the boat on the river that runs through the Cañon del Sumidero.

The early growth of the grape plants at the Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyard in Sonoma County, California.

The alley side of the famous City Lights bookstore, where they love Chiapas as much as I do.



I have so many more travel pictures to show you all, and I have to say, Chiapas was amazing and I would like to go back and spend a lot of time there. Guadalajara just doesn't do it for me the way the jungle and mountains of the South do. I also have more of San Francisco and wine country, which are very cool places that I could live in as well.
For now, though, the best I can do on most weekends is the Parque Metropolitano, where Lola (the beautiful one on the right) met the love of her life (besides the small Golden Retreiver who lives down the street) in the form of another Saint Bernard puppy whom she kissed shamelessly. Ha. She is still just under the threshold of too big to pick up, although I can't hoist her up quite like Oscar can.
I have to go because it is late for me, but I am leaving you with two essential websites for green news and style:


Those should keep you interested until I make it back.
