We started this blog when we left for Guadalajara in late 2006. It feels like a lifetime ago. Well, really it was. Since then we survived a kitchen remodel, pregnancy, birth (and beyond) and now we have a son who runs our lives and we couldn't be happier (well, most of the time that is). This blog is all about him. Since all our family is far away we hope you check in now and then to stay updated on the life and times of El Chiquitito.

D's version
Alright Zacatecas rocked. Unfortunately I wasn't around when Lucy & Monica toured the mines: While they were tracing the semifacist roots of the Spanish colonists (exploiting indigenous labour to make Spanish Royalty happy with extracting Silver from the mines etc ....) I was busy doing Papa Bear's work. Yep. D wrote himself some hot Java Code. Oh Yeah. D cannot say more because Papa Bear says D must not. D must be silent.
But I most definetely checked out La Quemada. Now let me tell you, as an experienced Mexican Pyramid watcher (Yo: Chichen Itza, Uxmal, and the pyramids outside of Mexico City are in da house ....) La Quemada was cool but not really the hit. Honestly, you seen a couple of them and you seen em all. And here comes Monica: Why do you have to compare them to Chichen Itza & shizzle. (And she somehow derives from that that I am an Elitist: Don't ask me why).
I really like Zacatecas. In fact, put it on top of my list of Mexican cities so far (beating out Morelia). The fact, Zacatecas has a damn nice center, a really cool park and the people seem really nice. But Monica claims that, since I didn't leave the hotel (which had hot water only once in a while ) I wouldn't know. Well, she kinda has a point there.
I would write more but Monica gave me writer's block.
