This morning we slept in until about 9:00 or so, then went with Tio Lauro to see the new house he built for his family in Santiago, Nuevo Leon, just close enough to Monterrey to benefit from very good infrastructure. It is a beautiful house in a beautiful small town with a traditional plaza. It was a very relaxing morning and a great chance to get caught up a little with Laurin. He travels all over South and Central America in his job with Oracle. We are going to look around the area where they live to see if we can find a piece of retirement property. These are a few pictures we took while we were there. The house is truly a work of art both in its layout and the beauty of its workmanship. The top picture is of a butterfly that landed on the hood of the car while we were there. You can see a little of the marvelous indirect lighting in the house in the second picture. The third is of a papaya tree growing in the back yard. The last picture is of Laurin and I talking.
