2017 Travel Begins

It has been too long since my last blog post.  I am still traveling a lot for my current job which is great for my cultural experience, but bad for my family life as they have to make due with one person down.  Also, my Florida routine is on pause.  In any case, I'm happy to share some pictures of my latest fun adventures.

Tango Show

 Brownsville, TX Charro Days kick-off

                                               
                                                    Parasailing Ready in South Padre, a first.

 Jan 2017 began with a trip to Buenos Aires where I got to sample Dulce de Leche flavors, eat steak and watch Tango.  I then had three weeks in town where I got to shuffle Alyssa around with her soccer practices, horseback lessons and occasionally, gymnastics.  Between preparing for my next trips, I was planning birthday parties and making from scratch, greeting cards for Valentine's Day and Thank You's.

I was blessed again, to visit Matamoros, Mexico.  The city borders Brownsville, Texas and the US Consulate is literally 15 minutes away.  It seems like another world when you cross the border, but really, you can sense there are no borders when it comes to culture - the language, the tradition and feel, definitely surpasses the boundaries.  I love the tacos and I don't think I'll ever order hard tacos now!  "Drop that chalupa!!"

Next trip is to Georgetown, Guyana where the food is spicy and then some but I'm sure to discover new things.

Signing off until next time.  A food for thought:  You know you live out of a suit case when you actually have measuring tape and flu pills permanently stored in your luggage..And you had to use it.
