The Last Post

The blog was prepared by Robert and Susan.  Once they get home, they will use it to make a hardcover memory book.

Mexico got a lot of bad publicity and when our friend asked us to come to Bucerias Mexico 5 years ago and stay with her for a month, we asked her if it was safe because the word on the street was that Mexico was dangerous.  We are risk takers so we went.  It is now 5 years later.  We've stayed in Bucerias and San Pancho which are two communities no more than 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta on the west coast of Mexico.  Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor had a house there.  We are returning to Ontario Canada tomorrow so we thought we would make a list of what we will miss about this place and the last 2 months.
