... ration des bagages que nous avons finalement récupérés le samedi après-midi suivant après de nombreux appels de suivi. Il était temps, car on partait le dimanche et les prescriptions de médicaments pour Rose-Anne et Michel étaient dans les valises. Morale de cette histoire, ne mettez pas vos médicaments dans les bagages quand vous voyagez en avion. Les vendredi, samedi et dimanche 4, 5 et 6 janvier ont été consacrés à des rencontres de groupe et les achats de dernière minute pour compl ...

... us on old back streets. We decided to pick up a couple of Spanish books, which we plan to read together to work on our language skills once we're home. Our third outing was a long walk with a dinner break. We apparently found the red light district on this trip! Dinner was at a restaurant at the corner of the street our hotel is on-- I had good chicken enchiladas in mole. We wandered around until about 9:30, just enjoying the night.

... and the hotel has at least one restaurant and an unusually emerald green pool. Of course, there is A/C, cable and good drinking water. There is an interior parking garage. In the early evening, we took a walk and ate at a cafe a few blocks away. Some of this area is blocked off to traffic, which makes walking a pleasure.

We were told not to sleep at the in the ...

If you ever wanted to try tequila, or pork rind flavored ice cream, this would be a "must see" destination. We stuck with some more traditional flavors, but the whiskey ice cream actually turned out to be very tasty!

... as events unfold.<br><br>December 26th - the "botanical garden". Websters defines botancial garden as "a garden with greenhouses for the culture, study, and exhibition of special plants". Having grown up next to the South Coast Botanical Garden, I was familiar with this definition and had certain expectations. We visted the local botancial garden today. It was not an unpleasant experience, but I'm not sure it rates "botanical garden" status ...

... I missed meeting my girlfriends for lunch or dinner. I missed my parents and their ability to go from Spanish to English without a single thought. I missed having more than two pairs of pants to choose from. I missed being able to brush my teeth with the water that so effortlessly flows from the faucet. I started getting teary eyed and tried to hide it from Paul. He remained quite calm, pretended he didn't notice (It was the classic guy move...Oh ****, she's crying, what do I do ...

We spent a few days in the colonial town of Zacatecas. We arrived in the afternoon only to find that the hostel we wanted to stay at was full. Luckily for us the owners, Ernesto and his brother Hernando said we would be able to stay at his Mum´s place. We followed Hernando across town, worrying about what we were going to end up with...it turned ...
