 Gone are the days

Of slowly traveling

Rocking back and forth

 

Today landscapes zip by

Reality reflections....

Only momentarily glimpsed

 

 

Too bad we lost the art of travel.

Trips, Travel and Vacations

A lifetime gift for a child....... When I was only seven I received a wonderful gift

A small blue trunk - it wasn't too hard to lift

I looked inside and what did I see?

A doll ? And all her clothing ? This is for me?

"The heck with the doll" I said as I pitched her out.

"I want to use this for traveling here and about."

And so I began my imaginary trips

Packing clothes and stuff for cruises on ships.

Or maybe I'd take it on my little red wagon

Hoping to find a most friendly green dragon.

My small blue trunk was my way of learning

What life I wanted and obviously was yearning.

And years later I am still packing for pleasure

Traveling with my best friend- our life is an adventure!

We are on vacation...ole!

We are gone for almost 3 weeks- not sure about posting abilities

BUT- I will be reading my favorite writers/authors and

you know who you are........all of you...my literary community!

Cheers- til later on...........I love you all..........

Oaxaca ...here we come!

Travels in search of art and good food...

Painting purchased on the street

in Morelia, Michocan

November 2007.

Once again Russell and I are dragging out our little

suitcases and packing up for a trip to Mexico....

However this time is different what with the possible

health issues at this time. Swine flu? Pandemic?

So, rather than panic and run around trying to

cancel travel arrangements, we have secured the

recommended prescriptions for this specific flu.

Unless things really get worse we will be

leaving within the week for a 2 week stay

in the capitol city of Oaxaca. We will be traveling

to some little artisan villages, taking cooking classes

and generally enjoying this beautiful old colonial

and historical city. We were here once before and loved it.

I'll be taking our laptop with us and will attempt to blog daily

with a few photos. That way you can travel along with us!!

Pig print purchased in the same city park

in Morelia, Michocan. On Sundays artists set up

their easels and finished work to sell in the

park outside the baroque cathedral in downtown Morelia.
