We've decided to adjust our blogging a bit. Hopefully this change, more pictures and less text, will allow us to keep more up to date. We shall see...
Over the past 3 months we've traversed many miles.
Joy and Jan Braxton took a three week trip to the Northeast to visit Buffalo, Vermont,
, Allentown, Philadelphia,
and Duck, NC along the way.It was a great trip and allowed a bunch of family and friends to meet Jan Braxton for the first time.
Shortly after their return to Mexico we visited Puebla, Mexico
for a long weekend.
Puebla is the town where the a much smaller Mexican Force repelled a French advance on Mexico City which inspired one of our favorite Mexican Holidays (Cinco de Mayo).
In Mid-September we found ourselves on the road again for another long weekend in Guadalajara, Mexico to celebrate 200 years of Mexican Independence. Joy was very proud of Jan Braxton who enjoyed his first fireworks show without getting scared.
he highlight of the trip was a chance meeting with some friends and a day trip to the town of Tequila...Can you guess what we did there?
At the start of October we went back to Guadalajara for 3 weeks of temporary work. While visiting this second time we took an amazing side trip to Puerto Vallarta and met some amazing people with whom we forged long lasting bonds.

And for the last days of October and first few of November we traveled to Mexico City. What an amazing city. We're talking 23 million people if you count all the surrounding areas.
Really huge and equally impressing! While there we visited the Teotihuacan Mayan pyramids,
the basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe (Patron Saint of Mexico),
the national museum of anthropology, the house (now museum) where Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera lived,
and the Palace of Fine Arts.

The highlight of the trip to Mexico City was the Folkloric Ballet which is a collection of 14 different performances; all of different indigenous dances. Hope this video clip woeks...
It was truly spectacular and is a must see if in Mexico City or in your neighborhood as it does traveling performance from time to time. Thanks to all our friends who have helped make the last few months so memorable!
More visits and trips planned through the remainder of 2010 so stay tuned for more updates…
