another era has come to an end....

It´s 4:30 in the morning and I am wide awake. This is odd...

I have just waved goodbye as my Aunt Cynthia and Uncle Bob rode off in a taxi headed towards the airport for their big trip back to the United States.

As I walked back in the house, I realized that in exactly two weeks from this very (deadly) hour, I myself will be getting in a taxi, bogged down by all my luggage, headed off to the airport, for my trip back to the land of the USofA. Wow.

But I try not to think about all that yet...

Saying goodbye to my aunt and uncle has brought an end to an era: a delightful, somewhat unexpected, fun-and-adventure-filled era of hanging out with my aunt and uncle in Mexico. Soon after moving to Mexico, I sent an email to my aunt saying ¨tell Bob to get his bum down here.¨ My uncle had spent about 6 years living in Mexico in the 1990s, has returned many a time with my aunt in the past 10 years, and I knew he was hoping to make it back this year! I wasn´t sure if I would ever have the luck of them coming down while I was here, but it turned out that the end of March, both Cynthia and Bob moved to San Miguel de Allende, a town about 3.5 hours north of Mexico City.

SO, over the past 3 months I have had the joy of sharing lots of adventures, great conversation, some good laughs, musical debuts, and great memories with the both of them. Since in a normal year of mine, if I´m lucky, I might see these two nomads ONCE (if that), I feel extremely blessed to have seen them so many times over the past three months.

The following pictures are a few snapshots of our times together in México...

It is sad to see them go without knowing when I will even see them next...

But it´s most definitely been fun!
