Note: Thanks for all your comments and notes. I am running right now but will respond to all of them as I have time over the next few days.

I arrived at the airport at 8:50 PM last night.  Tio Lynn arrived to pick me up at 9:30.  This served to remind me that I am now in Mexico on vacation.  Time is different down here.  Lynn knows how gringo I am and I know how Mexican he is.  But we forget all that when we get together.  It takes us a little while to adjust to each other again.  The thing I love about Lynn is that, he knows the best way to make me happy when I am in Monterrey, is to take me to eat tacos in the street in front of the Bank where Grandpa Lauro worked for a couple of decades.  Here we are eating tacos with our neighborhood friend, ex-boxer, red-haired, Bernardo.  The tacos were awesome.  Lynn is going to take me around to look at possible retirement properties later this afternoon.

I forget how much I miss Lorena when she is not with me.  I love this picture of Lorena, her daughter and her mother–three generations of Mexicanas.  They took it the other day on a shopping trip.
Tio Lynn and Tia Rosalinda took Kelly and Christian swimming last night with primitos Lynncito and Marloncito.  We want to investigate the possibility of Kelly and Christian going to Mexico this summer to swim for a month and work on their Spanish.  Here is a picture of the champion Mexican swimmers.
