Mexico through Don's eyes

My stepdad, Don, discovered he loves Mexico last year when they came to visit. Because of all the negative publicity, Don was a little nervous about their visit to Queretaro last year. After three weeks here (and a drive across the country to Puerto Vallarta), he realized that there was no reason to be nervous.

Their trip this year was spent enjoying the beautiful weather and completely taking in the culture. He had his camera out capturing every "Mexican moment" he could. Things I am so used to now, were kodak moments for Don. I am so glad that I will have these pictures to remember some of the unique things about Mexico.

I can't believe that I've never taken a picture of her!

Gude and Lydia are good buds!

Mercado de la Cruz in Queretaro

Walking through a mercado in Mexico is such an experience.

There is so much going on, so many colors, sounds, and scents (not

always pleasant) that you would probably never experience in the US.

Chiles, nuts, beans, seasonings, and much more

Anyone need a goat?

or a pig head?

You can find just about anything you want at the mercado

The projects of Guadalajara?? (looks exactly like the

Robert Taylor projects in Chicago)
