The Adventure of Dos Tortas has required endless planning, list making, scheduling, re-scheduling; it’s mind boggling! My Excel spreadsheet is long gone, replaced by a calendar on the dining room table. BTW, in case you haven’t noticed, it’s almost May! With a goal of leaving town by September 1, vamanos muchachos.
This past week saw two HUGE checks off of THE LIST (at least in my head). I found an outfit for my daughter’s wedding! Planning a wedding in the middle of our “adventure” hasn’t been the easiest. I am thrilled for my daughter and she and her fiance are doing all the work themselves. Finding the perfect outfit had me more stressed than I could have imagined and my goal is “NO STRESS”. So, wedding outfit, CHECK.
Actually, the biggest and most stressful, at the top of our to-do list and the least under our control has been the sale of our house in Bastrop, TX. This week we got an offer with a contract. Selling this house has required much faith and breathing and frankly not much fun. We learned that all the best planning still didn’t come out the way we expected. It’s been a real nail biter and a lesson in living with uncertainty. Even though we don’t close until June, it’s a huge CHECK off of my list.
…and now, reminders of why we’re doing all this:
Large Tree Along Laguna Bacalar.
Big lush bromeliads – Casita Carolina
Yellow Flowers Growing Everywhere
Blooming Succulent Hummingbird Attractor

Thanks for the reminder of why we are doing this.
You talk about stress and I start to feel it again, along with the aches and pains of my body. I keep telling myself this is the last couple of miles of a marathan and that I can do it. Me and my body are defintely ready for this to come to a close. I’m so glad I’m doing this with you.
