El Cerro de La Silla, Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, MexicoI struggled to find a good header for the blog.  As some of you might have noticed, I put up severally cheesy composite images for which I was justifiably berated.  I could not think what to put, but Lorena rescued me again.  She suggested El Cerro de la Silla, the most distinctive landmark in the beautiful city of Lorena’s birth, Monterrey, Nuevo Leon Mexico.  In the header (and the picture with this post), Lorena’s parents live very close to bottom right corner of the photo with the mountain rising behind them.  Cerro really means “hill”.  The literal translation for El Cerro de la Silla is The Hill of the Saddle or Saddle Hill.  If that “hill” were in North Carolina it would definitely be called Saddle Mountain.  It’s height is 5,971 feet.  For now, it is just the right choice for a blog header.
