Celebrating 50,000 Views: A Heartfelt Thank You

Hello everyone,

I am thrilled to share a significant milestone with you all! Thanks to your incredible support, I've reached 50,000 views on my blog.

It's been an amazing journey over the years, filled with documenting adventures, sharing travel tips, and immersing myself in the vibrant culture of Mexico. I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of my readers.

Back in 2014, driven by my mother's concerns about my solo travels, I started this blog to reassure her of my safety and share my Mexican escapades. Little did I know then what an incredible adventure it would turn out to be! The countless memories and misadventures that didn't make it into these posts always bring a smile to my face. (If my mother only knew the things I've gotten up to. Hehe)

To all of you who take the time to read, engage, and support this blog - thank you from the bottom of my heart.

As you continue on your own adventures, may life bless you with an abundance of happy moments and beautiful memories.

With gratitude,

Adina 💜 

Best part of my trip

Norma and Debbie from Patas Bar in Melaque have been helping stray and neglected animals in the area for many years. Norma rides her bike from Melaque to Barra de Navidad every other day and feeds dogs. 

Whenever I can, I join her. A familiar face, some love, and a good meal makes the dogs very happy. When Norma rings her bike's bell, one of them runs down the road from a ranch excitedly. It's so sweet to see. 

Some of the dogs have owners, while others are strays. Debbie and Norma provide them with food, vaccinations, spays, neuters, flea treatments, and antibiotics.  

Definitely check out Patas restaurant in Melaque. While you're there, drop off some dog food or donate to the animal care fund. The donations received assist both dogs and cats, as well as a variety of other animals. These ladies are the best.

Feliz Año Nuevo!

The new year would not be complete without good friends and fireworks, what a wonderful way to begin 2020! The beach in Melaque was filled with happy people, the sky was filled with fireworks exploding in all directions, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I wish you all a happy new year!

Back in Melaque

After a week of fun and excitement in Puerto Vallarta, I needed to go somewhere quieter and less crowded. So I headed to Melaque. For many years, I have been coming to this town and to the neighboring town Barra de Navidad. However, things have changed a bit this year since I now have an ex-husband in one town and an ex-boyfriend in another. Now it looks like I'll be sharing paradise with them and their girlfriends. This should be interesting. I should definitely have my own reality show... 

Feliz Navidad!
