Now that yesterday was my official last day of work I start my next full time job of running the craziest store you have ever seen. Need a leaf blower? Maybe a lightly used Hobie stand up paddle board is more your speed? My hardly worn SCUBA drysuit would look awesome on you as you […]

The next adventure
Note: see our new trailer blog http://3totango.wordpress.com for current updates. Last summer as chronicled here at the sichblog we sailed with Jaime’s Dad Capt. Jim from Guatemala to Isla Mujeres, Mexico and then traveled by bus around Mexico and Guatemala. We had discussed getting a trailer at some point and visiting some of the National Parks in […]
Belize Blue Hole on Today Show
One of the highlights of Central America for me last summer was diving the Blue Hole (link to my post). The Today Show broadcast Monday from Belize and you can see the footage on the msnbc site.
Going Coastal back to California
Last week we packed up our new Mazda hatchback and started the trip back to Palm Springs from Oregon. Our plan was to take the coast route as much as possible. The first two nights we camped outside of Florence and the weather was perfect during the day but a bit nippy at night in […]
Crater Lake National Park
Oregon has many beautiful places but only one national park – Crater Lake. Last week we packed up my parents RV and headed South for this special place. Camping with my parents is not exactly roughing it. We had all the comforts of home except for unlimited water to bathe a very dirty Lucy who […]

Wrapping up Mexico
Yesterday we left Oaxaca on a relatively short bus hop over to Veracruz. The scenery coming down the mountains was pretty spectacular. At one point the area reminded me of Yosemite with massive granite mountains and valleys except there were huge 6-8 foot tall cacti. We are getting ready to leave Veracruz on a 2:30p […]
Really, Really Old Stuff
Jaime and I have been getting our culture on for the past two days. Yesterday was a trip to Monte Alban ruins and today we went to the Centro Cultural Santo Domingo. The older gringos staying in our B&B love to discuss Oaxacan culture in excruciating detail. One lady was a bit taken a back […]
Oaxaca, Mexico
We are here in Oaxaca, Mexico after a 12 hour overnight bus ride from San Cristobal de las Casas. Not too much to report as we are still a bit fried and just had a couple of hours to wander around as our room was being prepared. Looks like a nice place. http://lasbugambilias.com/ Holy crap!!! […]
