San Ignacio

Hello and good tidings to all. Happy New year also. We are in jeans and longer sleeved shirts today as there has been a cold front moved in. Yesterday it Rained, but today it is sunny and cool. Not sunny enough for shorts or short sleeves. It should be better tomorrow.
We though we would post some pictures of a half day trip we took a couple of days ago. It is a little town called San Ignacio. We had gone there a few days before, but it was raining so hard we decided to come back another day. The day we went to this town, it was a pleasantly cool day, but I guess it rained Cats and Dogs at camp, so our other neighbors told us to please not go to this town again as whenever we go it rains!!! For the sake of peace and tranquilly, we have agreed not to go here again THIS year. (Such kind people we are!!)















This a a picture of going on the road to the town. Here one needs to be careful of livestock. It was pretty cool seeing all these little heifers going down the road towards home.















You will see a better picture of this in a bit, but if you look way to the back on the right side, you will see a giant Jesus blessing this town.

Coming into town, and going out of town, this lovely bridge welcomes you or kicks your ass out.















We really liked the light posts here. These were so pretty and ordinate. No graffiti on them anywhere. Very beautiful, and all over the town, not just in a few places.






















We walked up the hill to see the Giant Jesus and this is one of the views of the town. That church (you will see an inside picture in a minute) was built in 1592. Or somewhere around there, as this is about when the town was established. It says so on the bridge top when you come into town. That's nice when they do that as it saves your brain from having to look up any information, and the less my brain has to work, the happier it is. :)
















This town has two center plaza's. This is a fountain at one of them. That is Marilyn in the background checking out the roses.




















OHHH, LLLOOOOKKKKIIIEEE here, These are REAL LIVE Canadians!! This is Lloyd and his bride Marilyn. They are our neighbors and new found friends. We have traveled quite a few places with them and so enjoy their company. Pancho loves them. He qualifies them as Auntie and Uncle. There a cute couple are they not!!!

















This is the inside of the old Church. It is not fancy like some of the churches, but it is plain, simple and beautiful. I do not think this town was a rich as some of the other ones. They knew god loved them even if they did not have the means to do it up in "Holy splendor". Personally, I think that HAS to be a human thing as I don't remember in the bible god requiring gold. Someone can correct me is I am wrong however.

















Now this is great. This arrow on the side of this building tells you that this road goes both ways. Two way road here folks!!
















This is a two way road.




















This one says it is a ONE way road. Now, Notice where this sign is. It is on a building, under a hanging roof over the sidewalk on the main street. There is NO Way we ever would of saw this if we were not walking on the side walk we were on. I did not even see it and Chuck pointed it out to me as I was waiting for Marilyn in the store.














This is me and Pancho on a bench outside the old Church.

















Oh, our favorite place to eat in town. This little restaurant serves the BEST bar-b-qued chicken. She season's it with some sort of season before she puts the chicken on the grill. Man, is it good.















Here is the Giant Jesus. Pretty is it not??



















I love this building. It is plain yet pretty. Notice the doors up top all have a little pad with iron work around it. One can open the windows for the cool breeze. The doors are the same with the wroth iron works. Inside is an open floor plan with a little courtyard in the middle. It is a private home so we did not ask to go into it, just looked in as we walked by.
















So this is the tour of this little town. It was clean, very pretty and the people kept stopping us so we could talk with them. All the teenagers we met in town were so polite. They were very excited when we stopped and talked with them. We told them how lucky they were to speak both Spanish and English and you could see them bust with pride!! If anyone is in this area for a bit, one really should go and visit this town.
So for now, I am signing off and we will post again after new years. We are having a big party here. Maybe someone will get drunk and make a fool of themselves so I can get some good pictures!!!

"Villa Celeste" Celestina Gasca, Mx

Hello from us again!! We have had a couple of very fun and interesting days here at Villa Celeste. The bottom pictures are of the Posada. A Posada is a very important celebration for Catholics here in Mexico. It is a celebration of when Joseph and Mary were trying to find lodging so they could have their baby in a lodge, not some smelly barn with Animal shit all over the place. Guess that did not work out very well. Enjoy these pictures as it was a total blast for us. Oh, our host were Noe and Estella the owners here. They also served us food!!!


December 12th 2006
La Posada.
















Ok, a bit of explaining here. This picture should of been on of the last ones here, but the damn picture would not go where it was suppost to be. This is Noe, the owner breaking the paňta up as whatever it was made out of, Ron, the guy in the yellow shirt behind Noe there in the picture, was right to say they could of made Truck tires out of it. It just would not break. NOE attacked it with his feet and stick.....Killed it dead.
















This is Estella. Notice she is cheating as she has NO mask on. Cheater, Cheater, Punkin eater!!
















This very nice couple is Noe and Estella. The owners and our wonderful host.















This is our wonderful friend Frank. Chuck is watching frank eat this gooey stuff that taste not so great by itself, but when you dip a piece of sugar cane in it, it is really good. Sort of a caramel stuff, but more weird.















This is Estella, Her mom, Estella and Luis a family friend.















Ok, your truly trying for the big hit. yeah, looks like I did NOT do so well.


















Jim with the BIG Reach.
















And a SWING
















Wow, chucks going to get it!! He did to, it came back and hit him.

















Ron is hitting and Linda is keeping her very own trophy from her hit. Yep, she actually was the first to tear a piece off that thing!!
















Our table. Before food.
















Frank getting spun. Then lead in the wrong direction.
















Linda. HELP ME!! HELP ME!! Come on, just give me a hand. (Notice Noe is staying behind that women with a stick!!)
















Ron with his hand on the rope trying to find the Piňata.

















Noe takes out his frustrations after everyone has had a turn. There were lots more, but you all get the drift. (That Noe can be a mean one!!)


Now for Yesterday. This was so so cool. Noe and Estella got hold of the Turtle rescue place and they brought Turtles for us to free and gave a wonderful talk to go along with the release. Let me tell you that these pictures are not in order. We will have to skip back and forth as Chuck was having lots of trouble getting the computer to stay online long enough to get this all done, it took him from five A.M. to after 12 noon to do this. Yeah to chuck for sticking to it!!! See, he just wants to please everyone and share.

December 13th 2006
La Tortuga's.
















The presention was under the palapa. First she told us of what Turtles come to this area and at what times, when they lay eggs and all that great stuff.















These are the little darlings going for freedom and probley certain death. One out of every 100 turtles make it to reproduce. The rest of them die from being eaten, netting from fishermen, and trash in the ocean. Just this morning I walked the beach and picked up three bags (big bags) of trash and I only got a quarter of a mile down the beach. Shame that the Mexican people do not realize what trash does to the earth.
















I am trying to encourage a turtle to move. Pancho wants to sniff it. I would not let him. HE would of hurt it thinking it was something to play with.
















I love the little tracks they leave as they scurry to the water. They are slow starters until they hit the waves.




















These are the two girls who help the turtles.
















This is a wonderful visual aid of a turtles nest inside. (I like visual aids)
















These are turtle eggs in various degrees of development in the jars. The map is the turtles that come into this region. The turtle on the upper left is what we released.
















This is our great and wonderful friend Dianna loving on her soon to be released Turtle. That is Estella in the striped shirt behind her, and on the left in the white shorts and pants is Frank. Notice how frank is hugging his turtle to him. Very protective father.
















This really was not a racing line...no wait...maybe it was!!!















And there off, Dianna's is in the front, not Ron's is overtaking the rest.....oh NO, Chucks turtle in an all out splint has created a whole new record for turtle flight , surpassing all others in an all out effort to be first!!!!















Noe doesn't want to let his turtle go. Notice mama Estella in the background starting him down....she will make sure his Turtle does not go in the bathtub!!!
















These are the little darling before release. They are so cute. Makes you just want to kiss them!!

















Linda. Sweet Linda and her baby.
















Like a proud mama, Linda lets Chuck have a close-up of her baby. Nice close up to.

Ok, for some dang reason the curer is not going below the picture. Here everyone is sad cause the babies are gone. We watched there little heads bob out in the ocean and waved good-by to our short time charges.

As you can see, Noe and Estella go out of there way to try and make sure there guest have a fun and enjoyable time. This truly is a special place and these are special people who want to combine fun and ecology education when they can. Anyone coming this way really should stay here for a few days and get to experience the warm hospitality of this couple.

Off to Mexico

December 05, 2006

We stayed the night in a Wal Mart parking lot in Nogalas AZ. This has got to be the most busiest Wal Mart in the world. There was 12 Rvs, about 10 Trucks in the lot waiting to go into mexico or using this lot as a pit stop.
What made this Wal Mart busy was the shoppers. That lot was so darn full!!! I mean people shopping until after 11 at night!! Then the workers come to claim the carts at four in the morning. Needless to say it was not a good sleep night. We have learned that if you park in that lot, Make sure you park your rig in the lot closer to Wendys hamburgers. Otherwise with the holiday shoppers you will have cars pulled up to your RV door with them leaving and coming until late into the night. (At least late for us) Then you get the cart retreaval in the early AM and the teens having fun beeping their horns and yelling out the car windows. All in the name of fun, but when your old like me, beauty sleep is at a primium. One must take this all with a smile however as the workers are just doing their job and you are parking for free in their lot. The store knows there stuff however as the canadians in the lot were filling up carts with groceries. The US is very strict about what comes in so they left there home with not a lot of groceries. Also they said that they go to Mexico every year and there are certain things they like to take with them, so they get them here. Light beer and Caffine free coke was the big ticket items. We did not fill up. We love mexican beer, dont do caffine free coke, and want to experiance things on our own. We bought a cooked chicken for dinner that night. That made Panchos night!! He LOVES chicken.
We crossed at Nogalas Az/Mx. (they are called the same town name on the US side and MEX side). Our cross was pretty darn good. We got an early start at six in the morning, that is when they open, then drove to the check point to register and get our papers. That took a long time. Almost two hours. We got a ten year permit on our RV and Chuck needed to fill out a check sheet of what we had in the trailer. Chuck had read ahead on what others have posted on RV net and had all our copies handy and ready. Although in the process of this stuff, he did have to go back to the Trailer and get the original paperwork as they will not accept copies of ownership of vehicles. Unless you have a note from a finiance company that you can take your vehicle into mexico (good luck on that) you can not take your vehicle in. Having a clear title is a must. Yes, we had a clear title. Two guys there did not and they were not giving them permission to enter with there vehicle.
Anyway, we are on the road by eight o'clock, freezing our toes off. Yeah, it was so cold that our toes were cold in our shoes, AND our hands and fingers were so frozen Chuck was shaking as he tried to do paperwork. Oh, I forgot to mention. At the Wal-Mart parking lot we stayed in the night before we met some really nice people Sharon and Richard and their two dogs. We are traveling with them by the way. They had there ten year permit already so they did not take half as long as we took. They went and sat in there motor home while we finished paperwork. Yeah, since I was not needed at the paperwork place, I snuck in there warm motor home with them while Pancho made friends with Britney and Casey their other dog.
We went on the toll roads to San Carlos. Actually the whole trip was very good. The first toll road cost us $121.00 in Pecos, that works out to about $11.00 US. The second toll road was 90 Pecos, about $8.41 US. Unfortunally for the toll road people, the girl in the booth pushed the button to soon as we were passing and hit our RV. Chuck tore that sucker in half and kept going. He was not happy she did that, and in his rear view mirror he could see them looking at the crashed up gate. Oh well, should of paid attention!! Our RV was not dented up. In Hermosilla we were besheased with three men running to our truck and jumping up to wash the windows. Chuck told them NO, and one started to climb onto the truck, Chuck was on him just like Pancho, both of them barking and growling, they guy got off and we drove off. Another adventure down.
So the rest of the way to San Carlos was great. Nice roads (little bumpy in places) and the topes are well marked.
Although it was strange to see dead goats and cows on the side of the road instead of cats and dogs. People who drive at night seem to meet those animals. Trucks here start early in the morning around 4:30 and it is still dark. Park at a Pemex not to close to the off ramp if you can, or you WILL be up early. (Personal experiance here)
The town of San Carlos is very nice. Beautiful cold pacific ocean with a rock and sand beach. (Mostly sand). We thought we were going to boondock on the beach where some canadian's had told us they had before, but a very nice policeman came and told us it was not allowed, so we had to leave. But before he came, we had two hours of sand, beach and sea. Pancho liked digging in the sand and just had a ball running and playing with the other dogs. Brittney is a Griffon and is a water dog, She swam and swam and loved the water. Pancho got his feet wet, but that was it. Being this was his first ocean, I expected that, he will be doing better as we get more ocean time. After we left our and went to the Pemex station, we got in Sharon and Richards car and went searching the town. The houses there are beautiful with some of those houses way, way out of our price range. We checked out too RV parks. One is over $400.00 a month. This is in town and a wonderful park with beautiful palm trees and pool and a little motel behind it. very nice. The other one is a country club type of place that is $600.00 a month. Hot tub, pool, and all the country club stuff like tennis, massages, ect. available. Personally, I love the older park better in town. Very clean and pretty within walking distance to town. On the way back we stopped for Tacos at a little place across from the Pemex station and had some really good fish tacos and Carde Asada Tacos. She fixed them as you ordered them. Very very good. We were very happy as we came back to our RV for the night. We went to bed at eight o'clock.
I think we are parting ways with Sharon and Richard today as they only want to travel about a hundred miles today. We want to travel at least two so we get to Matazlan the next day. We will probley meet up with them again on the outside part of PV and travel down the coast with them some after January. They are meeting their kids the week before christmas in PV.
Our RV tire is flat and chuck is changing it as I write this. I guess I should go out there and see if I can get in the way. I call it helping, but he seems to feel I get in the way. Strange how married couples preceive these things is it not!!! So I will write more in a day or so.





A note to any who actually click on the link to our location, no we did not drown. By the time I noticed the incorrect corrdinates I lost my internet connection so could not correct it. Sorry!






















Pancho on his way to Mexico. He is getting sleeply.....
















BOOM!!! he's OUT!! Notice his little head has to be held in my hand. He really needs comfort and human contact!!















Pancho and his friends playing on the beach here in Mexico in San Carlos Mexico. Below is the mom and dad of Panchos friends. They are Richard and Sharon. The pups are Bailey and Casey.
















This is Richard and Sharon and me with Pancho in San Carlos Mexico. Our first Mexico beach stop.














This would be a wonderful house would it not?? It is right on the beach in San Carlos.
















December 06, 2006
Our new friends went their own way today heading for other parts of Mexico they want to see. We hope to run into them again soon as they have said they would like to stop here for a couple of days before heading onto PV. I hope they can find the place ok, or get the opptunity to see this blog before heading out so they can find it. More on that later on day three, today it is day two, Yeah, I am living in day four today, so I am just a wee bit behind in this.
Anywho, on day two we traveled on the Cota roads (toll) and was amazed at how many there are. You will spend a bit to get here, however, as Chuck said, In the States we pay road taxes, here they must have toll's to help maintane the roads. Either way, it is all good. That evening we pulled into a Pemex and saw some Canadians we had seen in Nogalas and camped at the Pemex by us outside of San Carlos. So we pulled up by them (safety in numbers) and met. They were nice people. They have a happy hour every night so we joined them in a cocktail. I got a buzz off of one glass of wine and that was enough for me. Chuck had some sort of Cocktail. One of the couples stopped at two cocktails (until after dinner) and the other ones never stopped!! ha ha ha....just filled the glass and kept it with them. So we all decided to go to dinner at the restaurtant there at the Pemex as by now I am starved. On our way there, Dianne fell on her face but hard. Scrapped up her nose really bad and lost her wine in her cup. So home she goes to clean up and nurse herself. Man, she fell like a rock to. It was pretty scary as she was scrapped and blooded. You know us older people do not bounce back as easy as younger, and she is probley in her 60's I am guessing. So the rest of us head for dinner, and after awhile she and her sweetie come in. She has cleaned up nicely and is in good spirits. We figure she is going to have a couple of shiners in the morning. Dinner was great and an enjoyable night. They decided to join us on our trip and come to Villa Celeste. We go to bed early....again....hoping for a good nights sleep.













December 07, 2006

Morning. Not a great nights sleep. Pemex stations are busy places. But a lot better than the very busy Wal-Mart in Nogalas. We waited and waited but no movement in the other trailers, so finally at 8:30 I go and rouste them up. We get out of the parking lot after awhile, deciding to have breakfast down the road. Off we go. Lots of Toll roads later, we hit the Libra road (free road) that bypass's a very expensive toll to Mazaltan. This expensive toll road is $200 paseo's for a car (about $19.00) so for a fiver with duel tires on our truck, we know it is going to be close to forty bucks. I want to spend that money on new shoes for me, so the free road it is. Dianne (the lady who fell) is not sure about the free road and wants a guarantee from me that it is a nice road. I of course can not guarantee anything as I have never been on it, so I tell her she does not have to follow us, she is free to travel anyway she wants. Her friends decide to come with us, so she and her husband do to. The road was a little bumpy at first. Not bad as we have been on worse roads back in the Eastern United States. We drive and drive until we get to the town of La Cruz. Now granted, we have a road map, but no city maps and the signs telling you want way to go are not available. (We later see them laying on the side of the road) We take a turn I think is where we need to go and of course get lost. Look, we are dealing with me here, Navagation has NEVER been my strong point. Hell, I am still trying to find my strong point!!! Anyway, will miracles never sceace!!! Chuck decided to stop and ask for directions since we have two others following us. Turns out Vern has no problem with asking for directions to so off the two of them go to a building. Low and behold, it is a Police station!! How lucky can you get!! THEY should know the way to the Cota!! So they try and tell the guys, Vern comes back to our truck for the map and tells me to follow him so maybe I can understand what he is saying. With much hand gueste's and broken words I THINK I got it. So off we go. About a mile down the road, the police are pulled to the side of the road and want us to pull over. So we do. This is when it is apparent to the local police that the signs are down, So they ask us to follow them. Now, How wonderful is that!! I know of NO where this has ever happened to me in the states (but then again, we spoke the same language) and these wonderful Police give us an escort to the freeway. Lucky for us they did to cause we would of been SSSSOOOO lost without them. It was a seriers of roads we would not of taken. Thats when I realized I did not understand as much as I thought. But now I reflect back and realized that if the signs would of been visual, it would of been fine. Anyway, these wonderful guys get us all to the freeway and off we go. So we got a police escort out of town. With smiles even!!!
So now we are thinking the rest will be a breeze. Me so funny. Yeah, right. We see the sign that says Celesta RV park, but have read that there is another entrance to take, and to take that next one as it is an easier route. We NEVER see the other exit. So we end up pulling over about five miles down the road in a rest area. The canadians who are following us decide they are going onto Mazatlan instead of turning around and trying to find this turn off. We don't blame them a bit and tell them see you later. We intend to meet up with Vern and Bev and have lunch in Matz. sometime soon. They are planning on staying in the city. Chuck finds a green angel truck and tries to talk to the guy about a route to get back. Dianne decides to ask the guy about Mazitzalan the same time. After awhile Chuck finally gets his information, Dianne gets her information and everyone is happy. We all say good-by and head our seprate ways.
Chuck and I get off at Km 63 and make a loop back onto the freeway. Now, I have got to tell you all that it is different here than in the US to get on a freeway. They have dirt roads besides the overramps that are places to make turns on. We did not get this until we had to see it with our beedey eyes. They are used for on and off the freeway turns. It works and it is simple. We have actually thought the US should take some hints from Mexico. Those Topes do wonders to slow people down!! Ok, on to finding our way here. For those of you who might come here. Turn at Km78. It is a dirt turn off. Your going to think...what the hellllll???? But that is IT. Do go slow. You will then come to paved road. Follow it through town and there will be a sign saying the way to the RV park. Do the dirt road, become one with it, be its friend. That will take you to the park. The park itself it very nice. Better than what I expected. It is pretty, friendly and splended. It is a bit of a turn getting in the gate, however, they are working on making it wider. It takes awhile to hand chip all the concrete away from the fence and rebar. Noe, the owner guides you into your space and you back in. All are back in spaces. We are at the top of the park, at the bottom of the park is a place that is closer to the beach. I am happy were we are, I can walk to the beach. Those spaces are all taken at this time. The park has Wi-Fi althought the signal can be a bit of a pain at times. Noe is working on that. If this guy says he is working on it, then he is. Him and his wife are trying to run a park that is enjoyable to us so we come back year after year. I think they will be successful with that as this place is very beautiful, clean and quite.
The park has a pool, nice tv room with a large screen tv. We watched Survivor last night. It has over 300 channels including all HBO, STARS, ECT. No expense spared there. Surrounding the pool is steps, gardens with palm trees and Palpas with hammocks. Over on the end that the other's are parked closer to the beach, there is a Palpa with chairs, tables on a very nice concrete pad so you can enjoy the view. The beach itself is beautiful. The water is warm, the beach clean and sandy. They had a beautiful sunset last night, and I will try and get pictures and post them. Last night we were just to tired for picture snapping. So tonight will be picture time if the sunset is a beauty.


Note. On this map it shows the end as Elota. It does not show a road going accross to La Cruz on Hwy 20. Celestino Gasca is about 12 miles south of there and is where we are.










This is a picture of where we are staying looking up from the beach were we like to hang out.
Under these Palpas are our hammocks. Love them hammocks!!!














See, this is where Pancho and l Like to be in the warm afternoon. I have a book there to, but I have learned I should bring a pillow also.















This is the pool area.














Entering the beach from the park.















I have found that at that point there is where the best fishing is.
















December 08, 2006.


Today we are having a good day. We had a wondeful sleep last night as the ocean lulled us to sleep. The weather is perfect. We are in shorts and short sleeves. Sleep was great as the night did not get so cold THAT more then a light blanket was needed. Today we are headed to Las Cruz so we can get diesel, propane and maybe I can find some shoe's. The beach is still there as beautiful as ever. I will write more later today. Richard and Sharon showed up this afternoon and will be here for a couple of days. We all took an afternoon walk on the beach with the dogs and had a great time. AH! All is well.......

December 09, 2006

Still no Internet access but Noe assures us that it will be soon. We did not get much done today, but we enjoyed the day anyway. Ended up having cocktails under the palapa watching the sun set, then returned to the rigs. Dee prepared dinner for Rickard, Sharon and I then we had a wonderful game of Mexican Train which Dee won. Damn this is a tough life, but someone has to do it so it might as well be us. A poor working stiff would not be able to handle this kind of stress. So don't try it......We will let you know how bad it is whenever we get a chance. Richard and Sharon will hit the road again tomorrow and journey further South. We will stay and hold down the fort.

December 10, 2006

Very slow day here at the park, . No workers today as it is Sunday. There are 3 of us here on the upper end of the park and the lower half is full. The lower half has room for 5 rigs. We took a short jaunt into Celestino Gasca and got some fish hooks an a Pasada filled with pumpkin (Mexican Pastry), not bad. I replaced all the connectors, which were pretty corroded on the parks Sat system hopeing that that was the problem with the Wifi but it wasn't. It appears that the modem is the problem. Noe is going to Culicān tomorrow the get a new one. We barbaqued a fish that had been given to Dee by a fisherman for dinner. It was not bad, but we sure have had better. Probably just the way we fixed it, Oh well,, maybe next time.

December 11, 2006
Ok, later Chuck will post the picture of me and my first Mexican fish.





Frank and Dianne showed up today. We are so happy they are here and safe!!! We really was starting to get worried about them. We all took naps later on in the day, then went into la Cruz to get new fishing line for me. The stuff I had kept snapping and I lost three hooks and two weights today. The last hook I put on I did not put a weight on. I was thinking if I do it that way, maybe I would not keep losing them. That turned out to be a farce. I was casting out and before my hook and bait hit the water, my line broke and off it all sailed. At first I was thinking what a great cast, then I realized what was happening. My line must be to old. So new line was needed.
One the way back we went grocery shopping. Not many mexican people have seen women with tattoo's, so I was stared at a lot. Kids would come up and look, so I smiled at them and talked best I could. One girl who was 11 was so cute, she kept following us around laughing and smiling. Dianne translated for us and we had a new friend.
On the way from the grocery we stopped at the best place to eat ever. It is here in our little town at a restaurant that is pretty cool in itself. I love the place. It is sort of a shack with a palapa and there house on the back. If it is day light you can sit under a palapa and have a view of the ocean on the ledge. However, it was dark when we got there and so we sat outside under the regular palapa. The food is amazing. Carmen shows you the fish and you pick it out. There is no such thing as a little fish in this place. All fish are measured in kilo's. One kilo is 2.2 pounds american. Our fish was at least two kilo's. So for dinner we had over four pounds of bar-b-qued fish and two pounds of boiled shrimp. There were four of us and we took at least half the fish home. Lunch tomarrow.
So another day in paradise has passed. WE are going to get ready for bed and sleep in hopefully tomorrow. We got home to late for chuck to put the line on the fishing poles. So tomorrow is a sleep in day, after that, we fish.
So until we write again in a day or so, take care of your loved ones and remember to tell them how important they are in your life.
Much love to our friends and family, and to those who are reading our blog and do not know us personally, maybe someday we can meet.
Chuck, Dee and Pancho
