A mini-meetup

We may have missed out on the big annual Mexico bloggers' meet-up in Mérida, but we had our own mini meetup at La Barca restaurant in Guaymas last night when our intrepid friend Steve arrived with his brother Darrel and Mr. Jiggs, Brenda and Roy. Steve is on his way to Melaque, where he's starting his new life. Heady stuff!

Steve's stoked, even after two days of driving, and we were glad to have a chance to hear about their adventures on the road. These past few days are the longest the brothers have been together since they've been adults, so it's a long-overdue never-to-be-forgotten experience for the two of them. I was thrilled to be a small part of it.

Buen viaje, Steve, Darrel and Jiggs!

I will know Steve is REALLY retired when he stops wearing company shirts - he probably thought we wouldn't notice.

When will Steve be in Melaque and where is he staying?? I was there buying kilos of raisins today!

Mommy - The more bloggers you get to know, the more meet-ups can happen in your life. And the more places you can go in Mexico where you actually know somebody!

Babs - The only time we talked softly was when we were talking about YOU.

Cyn and Mike - Me too. But at least you got to meet Steve before he left.

Calypso - Yeah, he's going to need to go on a shopping trip when he gets to Melaque.

Sailor - He's got a deadline and he's a day ahead of schedule, so my guess is Friday.
