CANCUN & RIVIERA MAYA

Don & I just returned from a short trip to Mexico to get an update on all the new and newly renovated hotels since the hurricanes 2 years ago.
We had detailed tours of 6 hotels in the Riviera Maya area.
They were:
Sunscape Puerto Aventuras
Riu Palaca Riviera Maya
Riu Playacar
Riu Tequila
Secrets Riviera Maya
Iberostar Paraiso Grand

We stayed in Cancun proper at the new Great Parnassus and used the facilities there as well as at the sister hotel, the Golden Parnassus. I will be writing some detailed informaion about these properties but, in the meantime, if you have questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

OREGON!





Just a few weeks ago we visited a part of the world that neither of us had ever seen before -- Oregon!
We went expecting to visit some wineries and taste some great Pinot Noirs and dodge raindrops and gray skies during most ofour stay.
We were right on the first two expectations but came away with so much more!
Skies were blue, temps were great and the beauty of God's earth that we experienced was just astounding.
I have updated my profle picture with one that Don took of me amid the yellow broom in Astoria.
Here are a few others as well.
