Vivir en Grandes Mexico - Living Large in Mexico

Linda, Kevin & Heather from Iowa are with me this week - wonderful spirits, each one of them - but they are the age of my children, and this old gray mare just can't keep up! Yesterday Kevin & Linda tromped ALL over town and I DO mean ALL. We'd already put on some serious mileage (by my standards) when I limped back to the casa for my photography lesson with Robert De Gast (of "The Doors of San Miguel" fame). Kev & Linda continued to walk the rest of the day - partly because they wanted to explore the city, partly because they got lost :-) . I think they covered most of San Miguel's streets. Heather walked almost as far as they did. The only difference was that she didn't get lost when they seperated and did get to perch on a stool for a while and let her new local friends cool her down with a few cervasa's. Like I said, I just can't keep up with these 'young 'uns.' :-) But do watch for improvement in my photos. Senor De Gast was very enlightening. I hope to put my lesson into practice today.

We've a few shopping errands to run today then we're off to La Gruta - that wonderful Hot Spring Spa outside of town. Vivir en grandes Mexico!

Hello Nancy, Mom, Dad, Heather! I'm so glad Norm called and gave me this website address! Its great! Looks like Heather is loving it for her first Mexico experience! Weather in Iowa is so nice--nothing compared to Mexico im sure, but still great! So much I want to tell you Mom and Dad. I guess it will have to wait until you come back! By the way, I "made it" through my appointment, but it wasn't pretty. :) Have a great time down there! Be safe and stay away from any worms at the bottom of the bottle! Love you all!
