Bethie and a turtle and TOTAL
(So I’m trying to recap my weekend here, but Bethie has got the John & Kate Plus Eight marathon on, and she thinks I need a play by play so she’s narrating. Ok, gotta focus…)
It was me, Kyle, Barnicle, Rubani and Rubani’s girlfriend Anne who went. We had to drive [...]

I’m doing it. Despite being quasi-ill for the last week with a sore throat and some aches and pains, and despite a 50% chance for scattered, possibly strong T-storms, and despite the fact that I’ll need to come back on Sunday to do the work I am [...]
So Bethie and I did a grocery shop on Friday and have prepared our own foods all weekend…

Last night Bethie and I went to Tecalitlan and were confronted with what we’d only previously experienced on the evening news - A meal with no tomatoes. We were all like “whaaa???” It was chilling, and we feel like [...]
