Hapy New Year Everyone! Took a break yesterday after staying out very late on New Years Eve. Spent the evening sitting in the Jardin people watching, there were some crazy hats out there. Lucky for us it wasn't as cold as it had been although were bundled up. Bought a small botlle of Tequilia I mean everyone else was so figured why not. That certainly took off the chill.LOL They had live music until the countdown and then things went nuts. The fireworks were really good and people had these crazy long Sparklers. All in all everyone looked to be haing fun even if they may find little brns inthe coats after getting home. Took some videos will post later on Youtube and send linkthis site only holds small ones. Yesterday didn't do to much just ... read more

Got up yesterday morning and headed to the small town of Dolores Hildago a small but very busy town about an hour away. This is the town where the Mexicans won their independence from Spain steeped in important history for the Mexican people. Also compared to SMA it is more a town the Mexicans visit. In fact we spoke with some Mexican Americans from San Diego and they were not even going to SMA. Dolores is a bustling town with a million ice cream stands it seems on every corner all with at least 10 choices of very tasty ice cream. The Jardin square was very pretty and surrounded by yes you guessed it Churches. The main church was busy with some sort of very large service going on so was unable to go into it ... read more

Hey everyone hope you all had a Christmas Day! Rick and I did a lot of walking and people watching in the Zocola. The place was crawling with people from all over Mexico and tourists too. Started out to be warm today so feeling much better about that even though you won't catch me without a coat close by. Walked by some gringos and heard her saying about how chilled she was and her son said "Well at least it isn't raining!' Amen to that they must have been from Oregon/Washington LOL Anyway can't wait until some of the festivities are over and we will start exploring the outside areas around SMA but for now so much to see right here. Last night we attended the Christams Posada at the neighbors. People started arriving about 8:00pm. ... read more

We made it to San Miguel! Well we finally made it to our destination in SMA! After flying into Mexico City Airport we managed to find the bus to Quertero very easy. After clearing customs we just walked out made a right and followed the signs to the bus very easy. Managed to get on a luxury bus in about 10 minutes and off we went. It costs about 22 US each. The bus was very nice and comfortable. However after reaching Querteo someone told us to cross the street better to have said make a right and go to terminla B. But we walked a bit until someone helped us back to station where we managed to get on the last leg of and hour drive to SMA. So for all you people who fly ... read more
