Again- Mexico

COLORS everywhere!





The pyramids were amazing! The history behind them is so interesting (and disturbing) and it is amazing to see these huge structures built over 1500 years ago. One of the pyramids that we visited has the largest base size of any in the world, which is 40 acres! Most of that pyramid is not uncovered and so we could just see small parts of the corners showing where it is actually underground. Adrian's parents talked about their visit to these exact pyramids, some 35 years ago, when Adrian was a child and they lived in Mexico for 4 years. She has often told us how the people in Mexico loved Adrian's blond hair and would kiss him and stroke his hair. It was so fun to be there with our (almost) 3-year old son who has the same blond hair, and it is true. The people loved him too. They wanted to hold him and kiss him and stroke his hair that they say feels like silk.














The CATHEDRALS were quite spectacular.

So fun to see your pictures! What a fun trip for your family. Is it this month that you are heading to Colorado? We had a great time there in June. Jillyn, Desi and I ended up going to Estes for an overnighter...not at the Tyrol, though! :) I will have to give you a call so we can chat...after we get back from our Cali trip.
