Where in the World Were We?

Man, when was the last time I typed that out? Well, it had been quite a long time since we "really" travelled, I mean the domestic road trips were fun, but we missed travelling internationally. So, back in November, when it looked like Delta was waning, we started making plans....nothing too far mind you; in fact we planned to visit the last place we visited outside the US, back in February of 2020.....man, it seems like a decade ago.

And then Omicron came along.......sigh. So, we had a decision to make......

In the end, with both the Missus and I fully vaccinated and boosted, having no pre-existing conditions, we decided to go ahead. I had also heard from our good friend "Alle" that folks in Mexico were really compliant with regards to wearing masks....and she wasn't kidding....almost everyone wore KN95s too! They even wore the masks outdoors.......the only folks not wearing masks were....well.....you know from where. We had temperature checks before entering most shops; were asked to sanitize....there were a few exceptions and I'll note my observations in future posts. In fact, when entering one of the restaurants were were misted with........vinegar!?!?! 

Anyway, we really enjoyed our trip. 

We got to revisit some favorites of ours.....

And are slowly working our way thru the "list" of places we want to check out.....

We hired a private driver for take us to our next destination......where checking out at least one rooftop restaurant/bar is a must. And you can clearly see why.

And such colorful streets.....

We were the only folks staying at our 6 room B&B, which we really enjoyed.

And had some pretty darn good food as well.

Our third and final stop was our favorite......

We actually took a private walking tour which was the highlight of our trip. 

Where we learned some history about this fine city.......

And our favorite restaurant of this trip was here as well......we loved it so much that we returned on our last evening.......

The overall travelling experience felt somewhat surreal at times; though we appreciated the warm and friendly people and the Covid precautions as well. We felt safe during our stay.

Yes, "Viva la Vida"....but also care about your fellow man, have compassion, respect........

Hope everyone is doing well! Take care!
