I have a favorite little place down in Mexico where I love to go. It’s the village of Bucerias, just north of Puerto Vallarta.
When I was last there, it was with Jon and my Mom. We rented two side by side villas. We would get up early in the morning and look for an open shop selling fresh tortillas. We’d then make coffee, scramble some eggs and eat our homemade breakfast burritos on our balcony. We had a view of the ocean and the humming birds suckling on the bougainvillea.
At night, we watched the sun set on the Bay of Banderas.
My Mom came home boasting to her friends that it was one of the best times of her life. Shockingly to us all, she died less than a year later. I am blessed to have those memories of one of the best times of my life, too.
Travel Well!

Love the photo. And though I’m not much of a breakfast person, I think I’d quite like your homemade burritos with fresh tortillas eaten on a balcony overlooking such a beautiful place.
Wonderful that you were able to share it with those nearest and dearest to you.
