Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico


My husband and I visited the state of Michoacan in Mexico last week. Now I get to share with you all the cool things I saw and did. Let’s start with the fun little town of Santa Clara del Cobre not far from Morelia.

It is the town of copper. We saw men heating and pounding the copper into shapes. Did you know that it can take days to make one bowl or vase? They heat the copper and can pound it into shape only until it gets cold and then they have to reheat it.
All the shops sell copper items; store after store after store. Everything I looked at was beautiful so to honor the town and support the economy I bought copper candle sticks and a wine decanter lined with silver and …… well you get the picture.

By the way, the weather was very cool (they are 6,000 feet above sea level there) and we actually saw at one point in our trip a snow covered volcano.

I love the diversity that you can find in Mexico and once again we encountered the nicest people. I am very happy to live here.

Enjoy life's adventures!

With great love, Suzanne

Living in Playa del Carmen - the 10 things I love the most

Ten things I love about living in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

10. The many beautiful, friendly, hugging, cheek kissing people.
9. The bountiful and beautiful beaches.
8. The laid back culture.
7. The really, really warm weather pretty well all year round.
6. Takis (a spicy rolled corn chip) actually sold all over Mexico.
5. The beautiful, fine, white sand.
4. The beautiful many shades of Caribbean blue ocean.
3. Fresh seafood – especially shrimp tacos.
2. Great restaurants!
1. The fact that my husband is with me.

Interestingly sometimes the same things I love can drive me nuts – like the laid back aspect is a challenge when you need something done! But that brings us back to our focus. How do we choose to look at things? And what is really important?

I better also add the fact that Mexico makes me ponder life (which I love). What do you love about your favorite area of Mexico or about wherever you live?

With great love, Suzanne

More sand in Playa please

Playa del Carmen’s beaches are being rebuilt!

It’s delightful, just delightful. The beach is now wider, more spacious and grander!

Again this fits in perfectly with my desire to take more beach time.
I can feel the sand between my toes now. Oh, is that a pretty shell?

Maroma Beach watch out as Playa del Carmen is looking better than ever and feeling even better on the feet. I feel so lucky to live here.

Enjoy the Adventure!

With great love, Suzanne
