¡Primavera Feliz! Happy Spring!
Spring time music and new awakenings. We were awoken this first day of Spring morning by the enchanting beating of drums. Chris got up and went out to find a man and a boy peacefully creating music, he grabbed the camera and careful not to interrupt he snapped this photo. Wonderful hubby that he is, he made the coffee as I got dressed and joined him. They sang some songs too. Then they brought out the didgeridoo, such beautiful sounds to commence the first day of spring. As they were leaving Chris asked them if this had anything to do [...]

La Cruz rocks; Mandy and Britannia Pub
Places with character… Mandy and Britannia La Cruz Walking into the fortress that is Britannia in La Cruz makes one think they’re in jolly old England. The bar with its dark wood and grandeur with English beer steins hanging has one begging for a Guinness. The foreboding knights in shining armor guard us as we dance the night away. Never experiencing a rockin’ night like Tuesdays at ‘The Brit’ when I’ve been to England apparently that’s where we leave Britain behind. Tuesday is my favourite night in La Cruz. Mandy has the house band ‘The Turn’ commence the evening playing [...]
Characters; Wayland and Aruna
It is with great sadness that we mourn the death of our dear friend, Wayland. Wayland Combe-Wright Nov. 29, 1947 - July 19, 2022. From Wayland's daughter; Kaerolik Combe Wright A week ago today, I was at the hospital taking care of my dad asking myself what would be next for him after death, how would he want us to share this experience with him. Christians have a funeral followed by nine days of praying 'novenario'. But he was not a Christian, he embraced humans regardless of the religion. Looking for ideas on our world wide web, I found [...]
Characters: Latcho & Andrea
Latcho & Andrea; The Blond Gypsies Living in La Cruz has allowed us to meet folks from all over the world. One might think that coming to Mexico, we’d meet… well, Mexicans. Indeed, we are honored to call many Mexican nationals our friends and we’ve met many, many people from Canada and USA but who knew we’d meet Germans and quite a few at that!?! Every story of how I met my new friends is unique. While on sabbatical, during our first months here, Chris and I took an exercise class; it was an intriguing version of stretch and strength. [...]

Oso (Ángel) presents tantalizing dishes at Oso's 'Restaurant del Mercado de Mar' in La Cruz! Oso in La Cruz de Huanacxatle When we first met Ángel, my hubby and I were enjoying our daily walk on the Malecon at the marina, just down the beach from Villa Amor del Mar. Finally, there was some action inside one of the spaces designated for restaurants. The place was abuzz with construction activity! Living a hop, skip and a jump down the beach, we had been keen to know when the new restaurant would open. Ángel [...]
Sweet passions; La Cruz’s bakers!
La Cruz’s bakers; I interviewed Michael about his journey and the much-needed service he and Yolanda are creating with 'MY Cakes LaCruz'! Reminiscing about how I met different folks in La Cruz brings a smile! My first memory of Michael Crane humbled me; it was six in the morning at Philo’s bar where Canada was playing Sweden in the Olympic hockey game. Philo was kind enough to open for those of us who had to embrace our roots! Needless to say, the room was full of Canadians except for Philo and his one staff member, Gris, who came in to [...]
