Visiting relatives!

Well our trip down was a bit long, I think we got a little lost :D, but we survived it and what's more safe and sound! Kenji was such a trooper; sitting relatively still for so long, sleeping as he best could in the back seat with 2 other people there, AND he didn't throw up! -- Iv'e noticed that recently he's become more sensitive to motion sickness. :( Poor baby.

Upon arriving we searched for our relatives, of whom I hadn't seen in 13 years. I think Esther hadn't seen them for more years than that. We stayed with them for the duration of our stay in Guanajuato and it was so nice to be able to spend time with them, seeing as most of them were off work. Unfortunately our uncle was only able to spend 2 days with us and as silly as it may sound, I totally forgot to take pics with him. Duh!

The first of our site-seeing outings was the annual event, La Presa de la Olla. I can't say I have all the facts about its history squared away, but in the slide show of pics you'll see some pics of a "waterfall" and what I did learn about that is that a long time ago at a certain time of the year they would set the prisoners free. Well, sort of, it was more like if they survived the fall down the waterfall then they would be free! -- I assume there used to be a lot more water, if anyone were ever to be able to survive that fall!

In the days following the kids - Chris, Kenji, Kalel, and Yoshana - were invited to go to a little birthday party way up on a hillside/mountain. The weather up there, well in Guanajuato itself, was so pleasant -fresh/breezy- totally my kind of weather! And on the way back home we stopped at a lovely little spot that overlook part of the city. It was quite dark already, but the kids enjoyed exploring and taking pics with some rather old artifacts and machinery of sorts.

Well, here goes a large sum of pics. :D Enjoy! I'm sure there will be lots more pics - there's more places to see! - so check it out in a couple of days from now. :)

P.S. The photos of buildings or statues are for mom's sake, she'll recognize and know what it is, etc. -- It brings back memories.
