After a fun week, it is time to say goodbye to Mexico for this year. Spending time with the family is always fun and a great reminder of how lucky we are. After waking up at 8:30 a.m., we ran a bit behind, but by 11:00, we were on the bus for Mexico. We originally… Read More Travel day: back home

On our last full day of vacation, we started the morning with breakfast with the family, and then both Mom and Castor had appointments until mid-afternoon. We headed to one of Castor’s sister’s houses to drop off the car; they told us to keep it a little longer, so we headed back to explore downtown,… Read More Day 6: Historic Downtown

The day started with a family breakfast at Magy’s with all our favorites, and a few hours later we decided to take a trip over to San Andres Cholula to visit the town. Instead of going to the ruins (which we had been before) we headed to the city center to explore the other churches… Read More Day 5: San Andres Cholula

After a good night’s rest, we talked about what we should do for the day, and Mom didn’t want to go somewhere she had already been. Then someone said we should visit Val’quirico; the community is designed like an Italian town. It sounded fun, and 45 minutes later, we entered another world. From cobbled streets… Read More Day 4: a visit to Val’quirico

After trying to catch up on our sleep, we woke up around 11:00 for breakfast and spent time with the family. We eventually got on a bus and headed to Puebla, where we met with the rest of the family, got caught up, and celebrated Mom’s birthday.

After sleeping in and having breakfast at noon, we spent the next few hours catching up with family and friends. After a bit, we went to pay our respects to Castor’s sister, Rosy, and his Dad. We took a motorcycle ride to get here, which was exciting. On the way back, we stopped at the… Read More Day 1: around town

Our day of travel started at 2:30 a.m. when we got up and got ready for a very long day. Our first flight was on time and landed us safely in Salt Lake City, where we had time to finally have some breakfast at Panera. We got the order to go as the next flight… Read More Travel day to Mexico
