  • My La Floresta tour driving around the north shore of Lake Chapala. Retired life in Ajijic, Mexico on Lake Chapala. RV Life. Projects at home in the mountains of central Mexico, our USA travels in a 40' Monaco motor home, or whatever else is on my mind today. :)
    QUESTIONS I GET OFTEN ... ?
    What's that camera with the 50 power Optical Zoom ????
    Where can I get that Stun Gun Flashlight ????

Tomorrow I'm doing a road trip down to McCall and Cascade lake because Kamper Clown Corney said there are lots of empties at the boondocking side . 6 hr.s Google says so will take me 8. All back roads is why there not Flathead. It's in Montana and the road construction is very bad there. The mountain lakes are better than the s.Idaho sludge ponds but they have much better access for us Podunks. Sandy bottom too. Hope their cold. Warmish water bacterial growth is harming more people now because of g.warming.

    This was a fabulous tour. I loved it. First, glad to see Lynn doing much better and in good spirits. And hope you are feeling much better as well. Finally !!!! Some real wide streets with real houses and real grass. I guess you can tell I come from the poorer side of town. I've traveled to various parts of Mexico over several decades and the only thing I've seen is very narrow streets, houses all built together, made of concrete, no grass anywhere, and if there was a tree somewhere it was really scrawny, except maybe in an older park. And I'm talking from Northern Mexico to Central to Oaxaca and surrounding areas. And yes, the hotel is really pretty. I love this idea of you driving around. This is the best way to show us around and we get your narration about the place. Love this.

I have actually told it to my friends.) I really enjoyed seeing your old neighborhood and the house that inspired you to put the tower in your house. I love your interactions with birds. I find them fascinating. Those grackles were super fancy. I wonder what kind of bug was in that tree? We have a family a vultures that have a secret hideout near my house. Thank you so much and really glad you're feeling better.

    I should have mentioned this first, I am so glad to see Lynn is doing better. I know that injury takes quite awhile to completely heal. I have followed your travels and life's journey for a while and I alway enjoy your interesting videos. My husband and I recently moved to FL from PA and are finding out it is as expensive as living in PA. I wanted to consider Mexico; but, because of all of the bad press; my husband said, "No way." I tried to get him to watch your videos; but, he wasn't interested. Keep the great videos coming. The Tour of La Floresta was really interesting. Neat things you pointed out with architecture.

There are smaller candles between the big flames too. It could be a ring-shaped candelabra or even a birthday cake! Anyway, it is cool.

      Swiped from mayoclinic.org: In the past, doctors recommended that people with small pouches (diverticula) in the lining of the colon avoid nuts and foods with small seeds, such as tomatoes, cucumbers and strawberries.
      It was thought that these tiny food particles could lodge in diverticula and cause inflammation (diverticulitis). But there is no scientific evidence that seeds and nuts cause diverticulitis flares.
