Our first two weeks
... here again with her family next June. We had Yanna over to our place for dinner on Saturday and visited her for dinner downtown last night. After a great pizza dinner, Yanna took us to Onti’s sporting goods store so that we could get the kids each a soccer jersey. Yanna and Aiden are friends of Onti, so we were welcomed with big smiles. Micah and Zola both picked blue Cruz Azul soccer jerseys. We paid, said our adioses, and were ...

All of this altitude though, is making it a challenge to climb stairs, walk up hills etc etc. I think we ...
Dia de los Meurtos in Oaxaca
... celebration that counts.
Each year since my parents deaths in 1998 and 1999, I construct a Day of the Dead alter to them in our dining room. I am sure my sisters are relieved that I live far enough away from Wisconsin to make it impossible for me to decorate my parent’s graves easily.
