With that, I'm tired of typing, and I'm out of ideas, so check out the pictures on this page, and the two links below for even more photos.

After that, the next day we took an excursion into the bay on a catamaran. We visited a small island for some snorkeling, and then on to a nice sandy beach for some swimming and relaxing. Marcela even managed to not lose her lunch on the boat. She turned a little green, but there was no hurling. After that, we were off again to Mexico city.
We started out with a day and a half walking around the Mexico City center, including the Zocalo, and the closed down Paseo de la Reforma (for biking and the running of "the human race") which was very nice. At the Zocalo (city center plaza) we saw the Cathedral, which if you look closely at the photos you can see is sinking along with the rest of the city, and the Templo Major. Templo Major is where the ruins of an ancient Aztec pyramid / temple have been uncovered just off one corner of the Zocalo. This was quite interesting, but unfortunately, I only have limited photos of it due to an unfortunate battery situation with our camera :).
The Third day, we took a van tour to Cuernavaca, and Taxco. We only spend a short time in Cuernavaca, checking out the city cathedral, and stopping for a quick icecream. The real treat was Taxco, which is famous for silver mining and silver making. There were hundreds of stores with all manner of silver jewelry, and just about anything else you could think of that could be made from pure silver. The city itself is set high in the mountains, and was very beautiful. After lightening our wallets on some small trinkets, we were back to Mexico City, and the following day we were off to Puerto Vallarta.
Been a while since I've updated this, so I'm catching up with a little Thanksgiving in January:)
Marcela and I went to Texas to see my Mom, Dave, My Sister, and her Husband Jared, and my Niece Rowen. The weather wasn't all that great, but we had a fun time, and Mom made another huge Thanksgiving feast, which we immediately devoured. See a few more photos of our trip in the "Thanksgiving '07" collection.
LOL....It's a good thing too, it might not move with the added drag of a roof rack :) You know... read more
