We have been lucky to have had so many wonderful people come and share this Mexican adventure with us. Thank you all! But when I heard in late January that my Dad had ordered a passport I have to say I was cautiously excited. I knew that Mom would be game as she has been to several places outside the US. My only trepidation for them was navigating the airports and navigating our callejon. Heidi indicated early on that she would join them-and since she knows GTO she would be the perfect guide as Erik and I had work and school. After listening to the wisdom of our family members we decided to rent a hotel in the center of town. This made traversing the city simple-but it also meant that they had to go to sleep to the sounds of a fiesta every night.
After a brief hiccup with the US State Department denying Dad's existence--and their diligence in proving to them that yes, Dad definitely does exist--the trip was set.
After an amazing visit we sent them home --well traveled but definitely not well rested.
Below are some photos from this time.
