On the road again…
Posted: November 30, 2025 Filed under: Mexico, on vacation | Tags: Canadian Artist, hiatus, Mexico, on vacation 2 Comments
Hola from Ixtapa, Zihuatanejo Mexico. Yup, we are on the road again. This will be our home away from home for the next while.
It’s amazing what some of us Canadians will do to avoid a northern winter.
“Rosa” is my southern ebike. You will most likely be seeing photos of her and I on our adventures. Ciclopistas are the bike trails here.
Or I may share photos of sunsets because they are spectacular here.
Or there could be photos of our scooter travels. The scooter is my husband’s preferred mode of transport.
There will most likely be very little art. I was only able to cram some watercolors, cards and some paper into my suitcase.
That being said I should promote the fact that my painting, “Mother Love”, is on display at the offices of Miller Wealth on Hudson Ave Salmon Arm BC.
And there you have it. The latest news from me. Cheers Susan
Celebrating 50 years together.

Recently my husband, Carey and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. To celebrate we went on a 21 day Mediterranean cruise. The trip of a lifetime.
The following photos are a very few of my favorites from our trip. I took a lot of photos so it has been difficult to edit them down. If you want to know more about our trip one can check out my Facebook posts. I tried to share every day.
We had a fabulous time and are grateful for the opportunity to see and learn so much about the places we visited.
Cheers Susan Feniak

We are still enjoying beautiful Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo. The above are a few photos taken while here. The sunsets are stunning. The bougainvillea is dripping with multi coloured blooms. I bought myself an ebike which provides me some independence. I still tour around on the trusty scooter with my husband. Kind of hard to get a photo of the two of us on that.
World events are rather disturbing these days. It’s difficult to find positivity but we continue to find it with each day.
Make every day count.
Enjoy the photos.
Cheers Susan
Away, saying hello to 68!

As you may have guessed, I am away. We are in Mexico for the next while.
I few days ago I said hello to 68 and celebrated with my toes in the sand and a margarita in my hand. Maybe more then one margarita. But who is counting?
If I have time for art I will post it. I brought cards to work on while here.
Hope you are all having a good winter.
Cheers Susan Feniak

We are still enjoying our extended vacation in beautiful Ixtapa Mexico. The sunsets are truly fabulous. I believe that I mentioned that several times last year too. I really haven’t been taking as many photos this year, nor have I been posting or blogging as much. I am just relaxing and inhaling the beauty that surrounds us.
Remember to be kind and stay healthy everyone. Cheers Susan
Happy Valentines Day!

We are still enjoying our much needed extended vacation in Ixtapa. It’s been a tuff couple of years and an even ruffer 8 months or so. Family issues have taken up a lot of our time and energy. It’s been wonderful to escape and take care of us instead of everyone else. The photos are some what self explanatory. The sunsets are glorious. The palapa is being rebuilt after a fire destroyed it. There are many pangas, boats used by the locals for everything. The iguanas are numerous and interesting. We spend hours watching the ocean and waves. There have been dolphin sightings and even a humpback whale or two. Normally we don’t take selfies. Mostly because we suck at it. But sometimes people want to see us in a photo so I attached the two selfies that we dared to take. Worth a laugh if nothing else.
I hope you are enjoying a glimpse into our vacation. We are relaxed. And that is important. Cheers Susan and Carey
Sights and colours of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo….
Posted: February 20, 2023 Filed under: beach, hiatus, Mexico, on vacation, Susan Feniak art, Susan Feniak Originals, vacation | Tags: For the joy of it, hiatus, Mexico, on vacation, Photos 4 CommentsSome more sights and colours of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo. You will have to imagine the sounds. Eventually this wonderful escape will have to come to an end. But we will enjoy it while we are here. Reality will rear it’s ugly head soon enough. Cheers Susan
Much needed break…

We are on a much needed hiatus. Our first get away from it all in over two years. They haven’t been the easiest two years and getting here proved difficult as well. Since getting here my husband has been ill. Which leaves you the reader with several questions, maybe.
As we all know the pandemic has not allowed anyone to travel. Plans were made, plans were canceled. This year we can travel. Months ago we arranged everything for a two month stay in Mazatlan. Those plans, dreams, saw us through one of the most difficult times in our lives. The death of our youngest son. Two days before our departure date to Mazatlan. Violence erupted, I am sure most of you heard about that. Our dreams shattered. But, we managed to change everything at the last minute. Flights, accommodation and all. It was a stressful few days but thanks to great friends who stepped up to help and modern technology we are now happily ensconced in Ixtapa.
My husband has been ill but thanks to modern medicine and good medical services in Mexico he is recovering from a severe sinus infection and possible pneumonia. We have been determined to remain optimistic and look on the bright side of every deterrent.
Our glass is more than half full, all the time. I won’t say full of what exactly, you can figure that out. We are on vacation.
Ergo, you won’t be hearing much from me for awhile. Cheers Susan
I’ve been on hiatus…

My husband and I enjoyed our ten days off. We spent our vacation on our houseboat at Robert’s Bay Provincial Park Shuswap Lake British Columbia. I took many photos. These are only a few. We are very fortunate to live in such a beautiful area of Canada. Proud to be Canadian! Especially during these challenging times. Cheers Susan Feniak
