I'm a mom and daddy singing along to Don McLean at the Levy

And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll
Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old

Just another rebel in the great wide open on the boulevard of broken dreams
And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16

Hey, hey
Everything I needed
That's right

I'm Mark Twain on the Mississippi

I'm Hemingway with a shot of whiskey
I'm a TV dinner on a tray trying to figure out the Wheel of Fortune
I'm a Texaco star, I'm a Gibson guitar

I'm still a teenage kid trying to go too far
I'm a jukebox waiting in a neon bar for a quarter

And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll
Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old
Just another rebel in the great wide open on the boulevard of broken dreams
And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16

I spent a lot of years running from believing, looking for another way to save my soul
The longer I live, the more I see it: there's only one way home

El Quelite Mexico

December 2015 - El Quelite Mazatlan


Click here for some highlights from El Quelite and here for lots of photos of the church.

Last Saturday Bill and Carol picked us up for the short drive to El Quelite.

Our main goal is breakfast at this place.

When you turn off the highway to head into town (the road has been paved much to Bill's dismay) there are bougainvilleas lining the road these were donated by the owner of restaurant.

Our first stop is the bean factory.

Walking towards the restaurant.

El Quelite is a lovely quaint town full of colourful buildings, boutiques and leafy streets.

Entrance to the restaurant.

We head out the back to see the large rental hall.

Who's a handsome fella?

Back inside.

There's chickens and even a peacock wandering around. It was a little cool for the iguanas much to Carol's pleasure as she has been pooped upon.

Back outside and time to wander about town.

Can you see the oranges in the tree?

Town plaza next to the church.

I especially like this skull depicting the town, a little too large for my suitcase, though and we still have many towns to visit.

A roof garden!

A new restaurant opened in town so we took a look. We ended up coming back on Wednesday for lunch so I'll include that here. The building has been restored to its original beauty. It was built in 1899.

John opted for the beef stew which was supposed to be spicy, nope.

Carol had the salmon which looked really good.

Bill and I had the roast chicken and John enjoyed Bill's jalapeno.
