The Best Laid Plans...



Plans can change in a matter of minutes!  Dear Husband slipped and fell on his right shoulder last Friday.  On Monday his doctor sent him to get an MRI.  On Tuesday as we were packing for our getaway to México we got the bad news: rotator cuff surgery required.  Flights and casa were cancelled...so here we are, still in our own casa in St. Paul.  We missed the beginning of the winter season in Mazatlán, México because I was recovering from rotator cuff surgery and now we're missing the latter half because of Jim's surgery and recovery.  Since his pain is increasing, we made the right decision rather than toughing it out in another country.  So from now on, go back to my other blog, Visual St. Paul, and I'll try to post some scintillating Minnesota photos for you! 

Since I had the bottom two already scheduled for Mazatlán, I'll leave them on the blog to let you see what we're missing!!


This is a view of Icebox Hill taken on the Malecon, a walk that follows along the ocean for miles. Our casa is located a short distance away, almost at the base of the hill...just a short climb.  Below is a photo of our casa, not ours but wish it were!! And I wish we were there...but another year, another time!!

ABC WEDNESDAY-"H": Haute Cuisine: Te Amo Lucy...here we come!!


As you read this we're probably on our way to Mazatlán from St. Paul, MN USA on Sun Country Airlines.   After arrivial and getting settled we'll walk over to our favorite restaurant, Te Amo Lucy.  I haven't been there for over a year so it will be wonderful to taste Lucy's outstanding cooking again!!

And here on the repost photo which you may have missed before is the lovely lady, Lucy, who serves outstanding food learned from her México City abuela.

Come back and I promise that I will delight you with more photos of this wonderful city!
