It was bound to happen. We have been moving along at a very quick pace and seeing and doing so much. This morning I needed to sleep in and have a bit of a rest.  I’m not a spring chicken anymore! In Phoenix, I  have been part of a book club for many years. I…

On Jan 19th we have one way tickets to Ecuador out of Austin, TX.  We had been planning to head further south in Mexico towards San Miguel de Allende, and then on to Yucatan or Costa Rica. When things looked dicey in Mexico for getting gasoline we found a great deal on tickets to Ecuador…

Every town of any size has their church or cathedral, and Arteaga, another one of the Pueblo Magiicos has a beauty of a church.  San Isidro Labrador was begun in 1790, but not completed until 1954. Someone might have gotten fired over that little delay! I believe a person can praise God or pray anywhere,…

I’m guessing that quite a few of you have saltillo tiles in your homes – those in Arizona almost certainly do.  We are now in the birthplace of those tiles, Saltillo, Coahuila.   I never knew before this trip that there was even such a place.  I thought they were just tiles, but now they’re…

Hard to believe it was another travel day isn’t it.  Coffeys2Go don’t mess around when it comes to travel – we’re on the move!  I thought this would be one of those days that I predicted in a previous post, would be kind of boring to report, but we have to keep you coming back…

Typically when we are traveling and trying to get from one distant place from another we like to drive a day, get settled in, look around at our new surroundings for a bit, and then spend two nights so we have one full non-travel day. That is what we are doing with another day in…

Last one of the day I promise.  All caught up! As we wound our way out of the Copper Canyon town of Batopilas, the road seemed even more treacherous this time that it did on the way down.  As we were descending in to the canyon, we were on the side of the road farthest…

Written on Tuesday 1/10/2017, but not posted until today because of the internet withdrawal period! Batopilas is a small community of tenacious, friendly people, which was founded in 1708. It’s original draw was silver and gold. It’s status as a Pueblo Magico is founded on being a clean, beautiful place with an interesting history. It…

Written on Monday Jan 9th but posted today because we … gasp… had no internet for two days! I won’t make you read Willie’s lyrics again, but we were on the road again today. Our intended destination was not very far, but it was one that we were both very exited to make. When we…

I’ll get right to the main point tonight as it was a full day and there are lots of photos to speak volumes. Barrancas del Cobre – the Copper Canyon!  It is really seven canyons and it is four times larger than the Grand Canyon and deeper as well.  The beauty of the entire area…
