Today brought more wonderful times in the relaxed and easygoing setting that makes Mexico such a great destination. It still amazes me that so many of my American friends and relatives are afraid of coming here…it’s just so relaxed and fantastic. We made an excursion by small boat today to […]

As part of the Casa week experience, we took a dip into the big city of Puerto Vallarta yesterday, and to be true to the local culture, we took a city bus to get there. A young local woman, pregnant with a tiny boy in tow, waited with us, and […]

Liz Nania is a ball of fire with a huge roster of enthusiastic followers. We found out in Mexico that they’ll even follow her all the way down here to Boca to learn a few new steps!   Our week in Casa de los Artistas was billed as a week of […]

Six hours ago, I had lunch with Ed at The Hangar in Amherst. I am still so full I refused a very tempting dinner of grilled chicken…I just can’t imagine eating for a long, long time. That’s because I ingested the regular–monster-sized nachos with chicken, which for $6.99 comes on […]
