Travel: Chapultepec Zoo
The Chapultepec Zoo! It’s in the heart of Mexico City and it’s free. The zoo has many North American animals, and a whole section with bison, bears, and deer. So odd to see when our National Parks here in Canada host those animals with thousands of acres of land. Compared to the two other zoos we visited in 2022 – the Omaha Zoo and the Australia Zoo (post coming sometime this year!), the Mexico City Zoo was lacklustre for sure. Don’t get me wrong, the…

Travel: Anthropology National Museum
Anthropology National Museum is a must see in Mexico City. There is a market just outside the entrance, so it’s a busy area! The wait to get in was about 30 minutes, yet it’s nice to people watch and take in the atmosphere. Okay, let’s check out some photos. Anthropology National Museum A couple of tips – don’t try and cut in line, it doesn’t work out well. Secondly, don’t put your feet (even cross your legs and sit on them) on the benches –…

Recipe: Gluten Free Pumpkin Oat Muffins
Gluten free pumpkin oat muffins – some with semi-sweet chocolate chips, too! These are made on the healthier side and are a good tide-over snack mid morning or afternoon.

Project: Tipsy the Boler After
Tipsy the Boler after – a labour of love, truly. We overhauled this 1972 Canadian made Boler twice – that’s right, twice! The first time was to travel the west coast for about 3 months back in 2014. This time – the summer of 2021 we overhauled Tipsy the way we wish we could have the first time around – galvanized frame, a solar panel, and a nifty icebox ta-boot! Okay, let’s check out some photos! Tipsy the Boler After Back in 2012 we purchased…
