Ohio is known as the “Mother of Presidents.” Seven United States presidents were born in Ohio; plus William Henry Harrison made Ohio his home.

Several members of our family decided to spend Christmas in San Felipe, where our oldest son has a vacation house. San Felipe is a small, sleepy fishing village on the east coast of the Baja Peninsula, 125 miles south of Calexico. The area had changed from the one and only other time my husband, John, and I had visited, 20 years earlier. At one point, we went into the village to a restaurant for dinner, where we had what my son said was his favorite meal while in San Felipe. The dish was the Seven Seas Soup served at Chuy’s.

This is the ‘tween season. Not enough snow for winter fun, not enough sunny days for hiking and the like, but it is perfect for spending an hour or two in a local museum. Dedicating an entire day to visiting a museum may be difficult to schedule but adding an hour to a shopping excursion is easy. It is a good way to visit the museum that has been on your “must-do” list. A visit to many local museums can be accomplished in an hour or so.
Las Marias is the last village on the Rio Platano River in Honduras. Beyond Las Marias there is only the rainforest. John and I, with our son and guides, traveled for many hours from the coast up the Rio Platano to Las Marias in a motorized dugout. The forest looked untouched with just a few long-legged egrets now and then. The only human we saw was a man in a dugout loaded with bananas heading down river.
