Also what one person likes another might dislike.

We have found that most museums offer much the same thing so unless it is a totally different kind of museum we are just not interested, I think we are museumed out at this point. We love history and architecture and have enjoyed what we did see in Guadalajara but have found even more of that in some other cities. It's a good thing that we don't all like and enjoy all the same things, it helps to spread us all around the country rather than have us all stuck in one spot. ;-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-58255361656027937052016-02-22T09:05:17.329-05:002016-02-22T09:05:17.329-05:00Kevin is/has contacted you already Barb, thank you...Kevin is/has contacted you already Barb, thank you! :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-43286071630639232472016-02-22T07:40:57.475-05:002016-02-22T07:40:57.475-05:00If you go with Lisette, let me know today.

That adds color to what we know about the places we visit. Learning new things, history, art, they all have a background and large cities can sometimes be a gathering place for all of that. living.boondockingmexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157433834193440923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-223248606528485852016-02-21T18:08:30.438-05:002016-02-21T18:08:30.438-05:00She is good, I had work done by her.

I did writ eto kevin and told him,I am thikign of coming up to Mazamitla, I have some spare tiem and would like to see Barb & Sal again and my sister in law has offered to look after my dog. I have no problem taking the caravan down to Melaque for you if you want to spend more time there, I am taking it over in Melaque anyway, so if its convenient for you, no problema.<br />Paul Beddowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471244341564465899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-82964889658959294012016-02-21T18:04:37.265-05:002016-02-21T18:04:37.265-05:00This is very unusual for this company to mess thin...This is very unusual for this company to mess things up. On the Fall caravans which I wagon master we have 4 days there and we always put a free day between the 2 days of tours. Kevin wa sprobably not aware ahead of time that it had been scheduled this way,neither was I. My only explaination is that Gabriel, the owner, is so busy with bus tours this time of year, he slipped. He sent me an email this morning and told me he paid attention to the complaints, that is all we can ask. One thing about Gabriel is he is very sensitive to any criticisms and does his best to rectify them. That is the one reason I wagon master for him, he gives his wagon masters a lot of leeway and actually listens to them. I doubt the big 2, do that. Next Spring we will schedule one extra day at Roca Azul and do the Guadalajara tour out of there. It will knock 1.5 hours off the travel time. I do the trip itinerary, but Gabriel schedules the tours. The tour intensive portion of this caravan is over. There is only one more scheduled tour (san Blas) in the 6 weeks remaining. The rest is pure beach & relax time apart form whatever ad hoc stuff Kevin organizes in Mazamitla and I organize up the coast. I am betting after doing nothing for a few days, they will all be chomping at the bit to do stuff. I am planning out some low cost activities out of Melaque for those who get bored.Paul Beddowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471244341564465899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-17128888740530909512016-02-21T15:14:34.626-05:002016-02-21T15:14:34.626-05:00They were his hiking shoes and yes they are being ...They were his hiking shoes and yes they are being shined, well not really shined but spruced up.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-75795803954015193222016-02-21T14:34:53.894-05:002016-02-21T14:34:53.894-05:00Yes, they have done an amazing job but we totally ...Yes, they have done an amazing job but we totally agree that those two days should have be broken up and hopefully they will do this on next year's caravan tour.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-66529967825662864212016-02-21T14:33:00.178-05:002016-02-21T14:33:00.178-05:00It will be nice to sit back and enjoy some relaxat...It will be nice to sit back and enjoy some relaxation for a change!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-67703182253344111462016-02-21T14:30:27.076-05:002016-02-21T14:30:27.076-05:00We know Nancy and Doug, and she would be our first...We know Nancy and Doug, and she would be our first choice but we weren't going to be in Valle de Juarez long enough to have the work done.
