We spent a few days in Guanajuato after Luis’ first visit from the stomach fairy, otherwise known as Montezuma’s Revenge… Oh yeah, he was down for the count 2 days. No fun. But we have a pact that goes something like this: if one of us gets any kind of stomach problem we pause the [...]
Guadalajara is the next stop on our trail, and is our gateway to the colonial interior of Mexico. Let us start this post by showering you with a trivia tid bit for your next cocktail party: This city is named after the Spanish city of Guadalajara, the name of that city in turn [...]
This post is dedicated to Robin, Jodie, Laurel, and Rico, for your love of tequila… we thought of you the whole time!
After Puerto Vallarta we said goodbye to the coast for a little while and headed inland, making a stop in Tequila. We took a really nice back road from Puerto Vallarta into Tequila that [...]
This post brings us way back to our New Years days in Puerto Vallarta… yes we are posting that far back. Hate to admit it, but it is easier to process the hundreds of pics we shoot and it gives us time to digest our experiences. This may not translate to good photo albums or [...]

This post will have a bit of everything and a lot of photos…

After the long and arduous drive down to Urique it was necessary to sit back and enjoy the amazing views of the towering mountains that stand above the town. The lush tree covered hillsides and big rock slabs jutting out of the top of the mountains are incredibly awe inspiring.
We found a great place to stay called [...]
We took a fairly nice dirt back-road from Basaseachic to Creel, which is only a few hours away. Creel is, for most, the starting point for trips to the Copper Canyon and is perhaps most famous as being one of the main stops of the famous Chihuahua al Pacifico train (El Chepe). Most of the [...]
Edmundo, our Los Mochis host set us up with directions to drive around the Copper Canyon and some recommendations on places to visit. Our first destination was the small 17th century town of Alamos. The town is yet another Pueblo Magico and magical it is. Alamos was once the center of commerce for the silver [...]
After Luis’ seasickness adventure on the La Paz-Topolobampo ferry we stayed in the first hotel we could find, had a good night’s sleep and woke up to drive to Los Mochis. We were scheduled to meet Edmundo Fuentes in Los Mochis… but let’s take a few steps back and introduce Edmundo.
Luis met Edmundo through an [...]
