January 29, 2020 We arranged go out that evening with Deya and her husband Ramses.  They had a nanny who could watch over the kids so this was going to be a rare night out for us.  We don’t expect too many adult nights out as we normally would not have anyone to watch Olivia…

January 28, 2020 It was another standard day, going to school, had lunch at school then back home for Chinese language lessons for Olivia.  While they were doing lessons I chatted with one of our neighbors who was from Switzerland and had driven their motorhome through South America.  He had a lot of advice with…

January 27, 2020 Today was a school day so we didn’t do much special other than our normal routine of going to school.  I went back to the Hotel San Ramon to check on the mail we had sent from our Texas mailing service on Jan 8 but it had still not arrived yet.  Tracking…

January 26, 2020 I had arranged to introduce Jim and his family to Pollo Feliz so we had arranged to meet there for lunch.  I had met Jim earlier in the week at the park.  They were spending a few months in San Miguel and had two kids but had not been to the Pollo…

January 25, 2020 Once Olivia started pre-school in California we, like most parents, got into the kids birthday party circuit.  Almost every other weekend had a kid’s birthday party we needed to go to.  25 kids in a class, throw in pre-existing friends and there will almost inevitably be some kid’s birthday almost every week. …

January 24, 2020 We didn’t do much today.  A few things of note were that the San Miguel RV park had a guy who came twice a week to do laundry.  He would come at 8:00 AM in the morning, pick up the laundry and return it by 6:00 PM, washed, dried and folded.  The…

January 23, 2020 This was our first trip to school from our new RV park and we just walked to school.  20 minute walk to school 20 minute walk back meant that we would get at least 40 minutes of exercise a day.  Liking the new place already, cheaper, more central and we get more…

January 22, 2020 Today was the big day for moving to the new RV park.  Since our Spanish class ended at 11 and Olivia’s class ended at 12 I headed back to the RV to finish packing up and to tell the hotel we were leaving.  I had everything ready to go when Holly and…

January 21, 2020 Holly went for a walk around town with Deya so after school it was just Olivia and me.  Olivia wanted pizza pointing out that she had not had pizza in a very long time.  However we got distracted by the sound of music and drums.  We went up the street to find…

January 20, 2020 We had been at the Hotel San Ramon for almost three weeks.  It was a very nice place but on the outskirts of town.  Every time we wanted to go anywhere we either had to drive, take the bus or an Uber and while we liked the hotel we wanted to be…
