Teotiuachan

We went to Teotiuachan to see and climb the age old ruins. It was a long day but a good time. I'll describe more with each picture.

In the middle is juice that makes pulque and the string found in the leaves helps to make cloths.

Mom's we hope you like your new tablecloths.

Family Fun Day

So sorry and I know I know these are long overdue but its been so busy around here. Anyway, the following pictures took place on Saturday March 8. Our "Brother" invited us to go with him and his wife to their son's family fun day. Kate and I thought it would be fun so we went. It was at a park called Los Columpios, because there are a lot of trees and people have used the trees for rope swings. Being that this day at the park was being put together by the school there were a lot of kids and parents around. They had all sorts of activities and it was a pretty good time. Enjoy the pictures.

I decided to take a swing.

Potato sack races.

Our new friend Andre taking a fall.

Then it was the parents turn.

None of the mom's for our team wanted to participate in the Mom heat so I took the challenge.

It was tougher than I expected. But I did what I could and won for my team.
Andre riding the bull.

Then it was tug a war time.
Once again they called on me for help. And we won.
The group.
Having fun.
Me and Andre.

Puebla

So sorry I know I put these up a week after we went but things here have kept me pretty busy. So we went to Puebla, it was beautiful and a very holy place. they have lot's and lot's of churches. Anyway, besides visiting churches we also visited a museum that was once a house of a family that was against the government. They spoke up against it and sure enough one day they were attacked. The men, women and children helped fight making it that much more memorable. Overall Puebla was a good time and like usual enjoy the pictures.

One of the more famous churches. It has been in many novela's and also in a Maria Felix movie, whose title I've forgotten.
