Halloween in Mexico! Yes, they have it here too! We saw house parties, trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood, plus HUGE crowds of people on Quinta Avenida, Playa del Carmen’s hot spot. When asked to go trick or treating with some other worldschoolers kiddo needed an impromptu Halloween costume. This is what we figured out! He got a lot Read More

Swim while the sun shines!
Lesson learned. Swim while the sun shines! Kiddo set a goal to swim every day on this trip. Most days that’s been no problem, but yesterday was an exception.
