This is going to be a weird post for me, because it's going to include exactly zero photos. The reason for that is because I left my phone in my sister-in-law's car last night, so, I do not actually have my phone...which is where my pictures are. (She drove us to/from the local wedding we… Continue reading A phone-less morning and (I had fun at the wedding)
Post-Vacation mode: Bad, Good, Neutral
OOF I am BACK. Back in “normal blog voice”, no longer writing in “travel mode”. 😊 Re-emerging into regular life has been…fine. Considering our flight got in around 11:45 p.m. on Tuesday night, and we both had to work on Wednesday. 😂 (I know, I know, I know…we are gluttons for punishment. We do it… Continue reading Post-Vacation mode: Bad, Good, Neutral
Wrap up: Friday- Tuesday! Home from Mexico
We're home!! Start to finish we were gone two weeks to the day. It felt both like a long time, and a short time, all at once. I'm currently in the "drowning but trying to catch up on life" phase right now (as I so nicely put it to someone yesterday who was asking me… Continue reading Wrap up: Friday- Tuesday!

Valle de Bravo (Day 2) —> CDMX
Thursday, August 18 After our extremely late night on Wednesday, I was dead to the world Thursday morning until after 9 am. Might have been 10- I can’t remember!! Ivan and Ethan were apparently up by 8 am sitting outside. It was a beautiful morning. I felt somewhat like I had been run over by… Continue reading Valle de Bravo (Day 2) —> CDMX
Valle de Bravo, Day 1
Wednesday, August 17 On Wednesday we had plans to drive to Valle de Bravo, another small town about an hour and half west this time of Toluca. I was not initially super thrilled about this, not because I didn’t want to go- I did, very much- but our original plan was to go later in… Continue reading Valle de Bravo, Day 1
A day in Malinalco, Mexico
Eek, the last few days have been BUSY! I need to rewind to Tuesday, August 16. To refresh your memory: We got home from Tepotzlán Sunday night, Monday was my super lazy recovery day, and then Tuesday we set out to explore again. We decided to do a day trip to Malinalco with Ivan’s mom… Continue reading A day in Malinalco, Mexico
Back from Tepotzlán and the laziest day of my life
Sunday, August 14 Sunday was our last day in Tepotzlán- a partial day, really. We didn’t have to check out until 2 pm at least. We had no big plans- as I said, it’s a small town and there isn’t really that much to “do”, exactly. Everyone just took it slow and hung around a… Continue reading Back from Tepotzlán and the laziest day of my life
Family day in Tepoz
Nobody moved too fast Saturday morning, since we were all up very late Friday. After showers, etc. some of us slowly made our way upstairs to the terrace, where it was truly a beautiful morning. The pattern seemed to be gorgeous mornings, rainy nights. This was our second morning in Tepoztlán, but for everyone else… Continue reading Family day in Tepoz
The rain finally got us… a stormy night in Tepoztlán
Continuing on… (I hope this isn’t too choppy for anyone to follow. I left off Friday afternoon, sitting on the terrace, writing a blog post and enjoying the views.) Just writing as I have time. 🙂 We had three groups of people joining us- #1) Ivan’s cousin, husband and their two little boys (ages 4… Continue reading The rain finally got us… a stormy night in Tepoztlán
Hike to Tepozteco pyramid in Tepoztlán
Friday morning we knew we had until maybe 4 pm to ourselves until other family would start arriving. The plan was to hike up the mountain to the Tepozteco pyramid, which is the main attraction in Tepoztlán. Quick history lesson: The pyramid of Tepozteco was built by the Aztecs between 1200 and 1300 AD to… Continue reading Hike to Tepozteco pyramid in Tepoztlán
