I'm baaaaack! I've been down and out for the last few days with a nasty cold. Thankfully there's a doctor in the house and he's kept me well medicated with mandatory bed rest. DARN! Catching up on sleep after the marathon Sarah and I had was really, really, really great! Of course that means that the adventures have been, well, slim. The last few days have been really rainy and haven't really been all that great for getting out of the house. That doesn't ...

Yay shopping!! That was the theme for today. We headed out on foot today to a shopping district called Parian just a few blocks from the hotel and city center. It is a lovely collection of shops that sell all sorts of cool things from food to jewelry. I was particularly enchanted with the local pottery called Talavera and after buying a place setting at one shop, the man helping us offered to take us on a tour of the place just across the street where they make i...

I'm back (sniff, sniff, hack hack)! Thankfully Sar took the wheel with the blog updates today so I could take a quick nap and try to get back to "normal."

But it doesn't go to Cholula which is on the top of our list so we got a taxi from the hotel and...

Hi all! Sorry for leaving you hanging for so long. We've been running around like crazy trying to see how much we can cram into a day. So far it's been a little nuts, but well worth it. I think when we last left you, we were just getting into town and went to the waterfall in Xico. Since then we visited Veracruz, La Antigua, and El Lencero. Not to mention all the good food we've eaten and spending some quality time with Jorge's family. We headed out for V...
