Amy & Cousin Santi and Grandpa Ron.

Mike's sister, Karen, who lives in Puebla with her family have an overly generous friend who offered to let us stay in his Buceria ocean front luxury homes that he built since 3 of the 5 have not sold yet. Karen and her family stayed on one floor, Michael Amy & I stayed on another floor, and Mike's parents and other sister stayed on the top floor. Here is a picture of the place:



Amy was not crazy about the water- the pool or the ocean, but that kid LOVES the sand! She gets around like a sand crab. She let us bury her.






Most of the Americans that were there had dogs. This made Amy happy.



The first morning we woke up, we went to the rooftop to watch the sunrise and saw several humpback whales jumping in the horizon.




We saw a few more on a chartered boat ride we took a few days later, including a mother and 2 babies.

We were about a quarter mile from the Buceria plaza. We walked there several times for elotas (corn covered with lime mayonnaise, then rolled in stinky cheese and sprinkled with chile pepper), and plantains drizzled in chocolate. I could live on that stuff...but not for very long because it would kill me :).

Amy did surprisingly well on both of the plane rides...phew!

Amy's first ponytail. (Am I pushing it?)

Now that I got my hair done I need to do something about these nails.

When I sat Amy down on this landscaping, the gardener/owner

said to me "thank you for adding that beatiful flower to my garden."

I thought that was so sweet!
