In Conclusion

We are finally home! Okay, we've been home for about 5 weeks now, but still. Mexico was so. much. fun! We ate amazing food, saw amazing places, and met amazing people. Sometimes just thinking about our lazy Saturday walks down to the center for Don Sebastian's ice cream or vacations on Ruben's bus or watching crazy guys jumping into the harbor to catch the peso I just threw in brings a happy and familiar feeling to me.  Everyone should take the opportunity to travel if they get it. Even if it isn't out of the country...there is something about seeing something new, and experiencing that with friends or family or both that offers a little something extra to your memories and to your life and to YOU!

First preschool we ever saw in Mexico so we thought this was pretty dang creepy. Then we learned that all preschools are called "jardins" or "gardens".

Christmas on a Plate! or The Mexican Flag on a Plate!

No, but really isn't this absolutely beautiful? And to be quite honest you have not had true Puebla (the state we lived in) Mexican food until you have had this. It is unlike anything I have ever tasted before, takes about 3 days to make, and is a dish that comes only once a year (because of the season of the "nogal" or walnut tree from which the sauce is made). We were SO lucky to try it with our friend, Julietta's family. She invited us over the last week we were in Mexico to celebrate her sister's birthday (whom I had only even met once!) with the fam. These people are the friendliest you will ever meet!
