Vaya con Dios Mañana
We have been on the road...

Independence was being celebrated throughout September in Mexico. Bunting and flags and decorations were everywhere. The national colours- red, white and green - gave a Christmas feel.
We have enjoyed our time in this beautiful country.
People have been very friendly and helpful.
And exude warmth.
Marvellous creative minds and hands.
Lourdes designs beautiful jewelry. The Chiapas region has wonderful amber.
And we loved our surprise meeting with Kay and Lydia from Auckland. Kay works for Twin Agencies ltd who are the sales company for Hubbard Foods. Lydia is teaching in Oaxaca.Oh how I love unexpected meetings

I have just read the last few blogs. The one about seeing the Pacific Ocean (I did wave at you!) brought a tear to my eye.)
While each blog is enchanting on its own, reading your mileage(now I date myself,but kilometreage just doesn't have the same ring) summary is mind boggling
Keep travelling safely and well
Love
