Thanks skatesindreams. Yes! Go there! It's beautiful and there's lots of lovely places to rent, though I think the place we stayed was one of the best because of the private pool and the view. So lucky
Thank you. We were lucky enough to have many beautiful sunsets there. After a while I got a bit blasé about taking photos of them.That sunset picture from La Manzanilla is absolutely breathtaking .. thanks again for sharing!
Allison, sorry to read about the loss of some belongings. You are right not to let the minor incident spoil your holiday. Like you said, you did not lose anything which is difficult to replace.
Wow, the view from your apartment is stunning. And the birds .... they are absolutely gorgeous. You must have a very good camera in order to be able to capture them so well. I can live like that too Allison. I wouldn't mind waking up everyday to view of the ocean, chirping of the birds and watching them play. Isn't it nice knowing that you can do whatever you feel like without the constraints of time and responsibility.
I am in love with Karen's pets! That beautiful regal blue-eyed snow-white feline and her laid-back companion. The fish on the beach - http://alisonanddon.wordpress.com/2013/08/01/mexico-part-2-la-manzanilla/ is it a puffer fish? Looks like one?
Allison, What a glorious spot La Manzanilla proved to be for R and R. in every sense of the term!
Thanks Alixana. I do feel better. Pretty much completely healed by now. We loved those Mexican towns too - so vibrant and beautiful.(((alilou))) Feel better! Love all your pictures from Mexico .. so much like Europe!
alliou, imagine the ultimate serendipity: your "in house" specialist; and the neurosurgeon available to confirm the diagnosis!
I hope the bumps and bruises have faded into memory by now.
I love the European vibe of San Miguel, as well.
Thanks skatesindreams - glad you're enjoying our journey. Yes, Oaxaca is amazing, and the festival a truly wonderful experience.Thanks so much for continuing to share about the joys and "concerns" of your journey.
Oaxaca seems amazing...looking forward to more "words and pictures"!
As always, Ali, wonderful writing, and exquisitely beautiful pictures, bursting with vividness. Thank you for sharing your travels with us here.
ETA: Thank you so much for your postcard, which arrived on Saturday and which - Lord knows how - I forgot about last night. It's a little ray of hope for me.
Thanks skatesindreams. It was fun doing the interview. I hope there's more to come.What a lovely interview!
More serendipity; and great "press" for you.
I'm sure you'll get more offers/invitations after this!
Thanks We had so much fun doing it.What a wonderful interview!!!!!!!!
Thanks overedge. The exposure has been amazing - over 1700 shares on FB! We're floored!That's fantastic!! What great exposure for the blog (which it richly deserves, of course).
Thanks sk8pics. Yes, I'm feeling much better. All healed up now, and off to Montreal in a couple of days, then South America. The journey continues . . . . . . .So sorry to hear about your mishap, but glad you are feeling better! And yes, thank you for continuing to share your adventures with us!
I assume you are collecting lots of frequent flyer miles!
Thanks sk8pics. I bet your friends would have been to it if they were there in July. It's such a huge festival it would be hard to avoid. And so much fun.Great blog entry as usual! Two friends of mine spent some time in Oaxaca, I believe, studying spanish. I will have to ask them about this festival.
Wow!
I'd never heard of this festival.
As always, your narrative and photographs are wonderful.
