Medical Insurance

August 5, 2018October 25, 2024Susan

In mid May our medical insurance provider advised us they are getting out of the long term expatriate medical insurance business, therefore cancelling our policy.  With only 3 weeks until we departed on a 15 month tour of Europe this threw us quickly into research mode to find replacement coverage.  Read more →

The Story behind Dory

June 6, 2018January 29, 2025Susan
Dory at our first stop in Bonne, France.

Many years ago a friend referred to us as “tropical fish” because we lived on a Caribbean Island and our bodies had acclimatized to the heat after so many years away from Canada.  Read more →

Two Pillows and a Blender

June 5, 2018October 25, 2024Susan

 

This post was inspired by a conversation I had with my cousin in Guildford.  We were discussing our upcoming travel plans and I mentioned with excitement how I could hardly wait until we had our own little car and I could purchase some items.  Read more →

We had lunch at the Terraza Gran Hotel which has a We had lunch at the Terraza Gran Hotel which has amazing views of the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral, the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico.

Located on the northern side of the Zócalo (Plaza de la Constitución) in the heart of the historic center, it is the largest and oldest cathedral in the Americas.

Construction began in 1573 under Spanish rule and took nearly three centuries to complete (finished in 1813). It was constructed directly on top of the sacred Aztec ceremonial precinct, using stones reclaimed from the destroyed Templo Mayor of Tenochtitlan.

The Gran Hotel is one of the city's historic luxury hotels featuring a massive Tiffany stained-glass ceiling crafted in 1908 by French artisan Jacques Grüber. It's one of the largest Tiffany-style stained-glass ceilings in the world.

Viewed from Finca Don Porfirio cafe on the 8th flo Viewed from Finca Don Porfirio cafe on the 8th floor of the Sears building, the Palacio de Bellas Artes is Mexico City's premier cultural center and performance venue in the historic center.
The exterior is built in Neoclassical and Art Nouveau style featuring white Carrara marble, ornate sculptures, and a striking yellow-and-orange glass dome.
Originally commissioned in 1904 by President Porfirio Díaz to celebrate the 1910 centenary of Mexican independence, construction was designed by Italian architect Adamo Boari. However, due to the soft subsoil (causing the heavy building to gradually sink) and the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution, work was halted for decades. It was eventually completed by Mexican architect Federico Mariscal and opened in 1934.
