Culiacàn, Sinaloa, a 3 de diciembre del 2009. Saludos a todos. Ahì les van una pocas fotos de la famosa Huamantla, en el Estado de Tlaxcala. La ciudad es un de los pueblos màgicos de la SECTUR, cuenta con 50 mil almas y està a tan sòlo 1 hora de Puebla y Tlaxcala. No entro en detalles de su feria, dado que hasta el cansancio han oido de la "huamantlada", que cabe decir ,que al contrario de la "pamplonada", aquì los toros corres desde 2 puntos distintos, lo que agrega dificultad y peligrosidad a las maniobras evasivas. Tambièn se organiza un desfile de las flores, con tapetes, dibujos en el piso, etc. La procesiòn sale de la iglesia que sale en la primera foto. No fue mucho lo que pude disfrutar, dado que al tiempo de ... read more

Culiacàn, Sinaloa, a 3 de diciembre del 2009. Saludos por enèsima ocasiòn. Ahì les van unas fotos de Tlaxcala (bueno, Tlaxcala de Xicotèncatl), capital del Estado del mismo nombre, el màs pequeño del paìs. La ciudad tiene 80 mil habitantes y es de arquitectura colonial. Es curioso que sobre esta ciudad no se oiga mucho en promociones de turismo o de ciudades coloniales, tal vez por su cercana vecindad con Puebla y sus soberbia arquitectura colonial, o por la cercanìa de Huamantla y sus atractivas tradiciones, pero la verdad es que es muy bonita, agradable a la vista, limpia, con gente amable... la verdad no la esperaba tan bonita y me gustò mucho... Ah, tambièn es muy "cerruda", asì que hay muchas cuestas (de cansado subir y fàcil bajar). Es justamente en esta ciudad donde MÈXICO ... read more

The plan for today was to head back into Santana so that I could do a little more shopping and sightseeing before we head back to Mexico City. We had juggled the idea around of staying for one more night but when I talked to Jose about it, he had a valid point. While my flight doesn't leave until 5:25pm on Friday, a midnight arrival in Portland means that I won't be getting home until close to 4am and that means I shouldn't put myself in a situation where I'll need to be waking up extra early just to make it back to Mexico City in time. So we planned a 4pm departure for Puebla which left the morning and afternoon for exploring. Before we could leave, Sara insisted on cleaning up the kitchen and making ... read more

Another lazy morning where Mia and I slept in until 10am. For this reason, I have changed the medicine dosage times for Mia because 2:30 am/pm was not working. My mother has obviously forgotten the in-the-middle-of-the-night feedings and the necessity of waiting a few hours to give her that first dosage in order to get all the other times on a reasonable schedule. The first time that I tried to wake Mia up from a dead sleep and give her the medicine, I woke the next day to see that most of it had dribbled down her chin and dried in her nose. Mia enjoyed a bowl of cocoa cereal, scrambled egg, and frijoles for breakfast while I sipped on a cup of cinnamon tea and one of the pan dulces that we had purchased last ... read more

It is nigh impossible to exchange your US dollars for Mexican pesos in a bank. If I had known that I would waste almost a complete day trying to turn my money into the local currency, I would have deposited it into my checking account in order to just pull it out of an ATM and presto, pesos! Azul and I didn't end up getting out of bed until 11am (9am our internal clocks). Azul and I slept in the children's room with Sara sharing a bed with us, Marciana and Marilub on the bottom bunk of the bed to one side and the mattress from the top bunk on the floor to the other side where Pedro slept. Marciana is constantly drinking water so the first time that she woke up to go pee in ... read more
