Maybe we can do it next year or whenever it is. <br /><br />I had forgotten about La Trinidad. I'm going to look it up on the map and plan a trip. <br /><br />I very much want to go back to Tequis and spend a few days. It's such a lovely place........Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-52838646595907318412015-06-28T11:04:14.246-05:002015-06-28T11:04:14.246-05:00I have often thought that I would like to go to th...I have often thought that I would like to go to the wine and cheese festival in Tequisquiapan, but somehow I've never gotten around to it. There are also a lot of opals in the area, which I love, but as you say "go to the source". A short drive from Tequisquiapan will bring you to La Trinidad where the opals are half the price.<br /><br />We are so lucky to live in such a diverse and interesting country!!

I know it took five HUGE sales plus selling my custom furniture to friends and art to others to clear out and have only enough to fit in the back of one pick up truck. Yes, much was left behind. What? It doesn't matter. <br /><br />It was the freest I have ever felt! The quote of $10,000USD just to have someone move that little bit was how I came up with the better solution of my Mexican paint crew bringing my stuff down. Cost less then $1000USD to get it all here<br /><br />Good luck. It's part of the process of realizing that stuff is just that........stuff.<br />Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-2364838306330384412015-06-26T19:34:24.977-05:002015-06-26T19:34:24.977-05:00Yes...I've checked into shipping.

Some books, and yes, art....some kitchen tools and other tools, linens, my antique religious items....oh gosh. See? Where do I draw the line? It's difficult and I know you know. But at some point I realize I'm just going to have to cut the cord and dive in. And I know it will be nothing less than exhilarating to feel utterly free when I land - able to reinvent my life from the ground up. I've not done that in a number of years. How exciting!

I've been debating for quite a while whether to pay to have mine shipped (talk about heavy!) to Mexico when I move. I'd decided I couldn't part with them and would just bite the bullet and do it as I had no idea if I could ever replace them. Now I know I can! And then some! :) However knowing me I'll still probably be shipping mine...or at least some of them. Oh thank you for this post. And I LOVE that it can be a day trip!Barbara Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13619511749548265127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-76544531447906590042015-06-25T23:15:09.348-05:002015-06-25T23:15:09.348-05:00What a successful trip!

Just kidding. Vizarron is a pass through on the way to the Sierra Gorda area. Luckily I had stopped there once and discovered what the town manufactured. <br />Now, Jalpan de Serra, north of there by about 2 hours is the Gateway to the Sierra Gorda and all the missons plus Edward James folly, Las Pozas. A wonderland to be sure.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-74334661934906343652015-06-25T16:49:08.957-05:002015-06-25T16:49:08.957-05:00I've been to Bernal and to Tequisquiapan, but ...I've been to Bernal and to Tequisquiapan, but I've never heard of Vizarron.
