One of the things I miss the most about Mexico are all the colors. Every building is brightly painted in oranges, yellows, and blues. The sky is a beautiful blue everyday and all the flowers that are in bloom made the walk I took everyday with Carlos very enjoyable.
I'll definitely miss the shopping too! The things you can buy for $5 down there! Holy cow! I am so amazed at the things I bought while I was there and how little I actually spent. It's just crazy. Almost everything made it home too...except one of my hand-blown glass pitchers...dang airport people! I also had a bracelet broken and a pair of earrings is MIA. Otherwise all my wonderful purchases made it home and are hung up in my apartment!
I'd love to continue to work on my Spanish. I feel like I've lost most of it already and I've only been home a few days! I am really glad I was able to have that experience and hopefully can do it again (maybe in December???) Who knows!
On our way to Tonala Miguel (shown in the black shirt) took us to a bakery where he knew they made awesome cinnamon rolls. He was right! They were the perfect breakfast to help jump start us on our HUGE shopping trip to Tonala...imagine Saturday Market on steroids (x10) then add puppies, turtles, fish and birds...oh and don't forget the blind man screaming for one peso for food. Not enough pesos (or room in my luggage) for all the things I wanted to buy there...but I sure tried!
Paige, Carlos (aka: not my brother-in-law) and I at a little shop in downtown Ajijic that had just opened that day. We were their first customers. I bought one of the strings of jaras (sp?) on the wall. Carlos just sat there looking cute.

Bethany said it was a dorky smile...she is right, but it was a funny day!
All your posts from Mexico made me laugh because even though I knew that Carlos was a dog, I kept picturing Carlos the person. Hee-hee. Sounds like you had a great time. Glad you made it home and most of your things made it in one piece!
