Voladores in El Tajin Week of June 11-18, 2007 Before departing Mexico, we decided we needed one final road trip. This trip was to be the best yet. We were hoping to keep it around 7 or 8 days.

After 15 years of law practice and working as a partner in a mid-sized law firm I said, "enough!" I checked-out and started teaching at a University. I love it and will never go back. My wife and I like to travel and in 2007 we lived for 6 months in Queretaro, Mexico with our kids. We thought it was great.

During my morning walk I discovered this little "fonda." Note the fire under the pot. I asked if she had coffee she responded Yes, and immediately brought back the red pot and put it on the fire. Actually, it was very tasty!

Buying a hat near the El Tajin

This a small house about 10 minutes from El Tajin. On the way to El Tajin, Madison saw a sign that they were selling "Sombreros." Later when we returned the sign was gone. But Madsion insisted that we stop. Madison and her sister marched up to the door and knocked. A child answered and went to get her Mom (Teresa and I stayed in the car). They entered the house and came out about 5 minutes later. Haley was embarrassed and Madison was all smiles -- she had her hat and spent only 20 pesos about $1.90 -US
