Lunch in Teochitlan

I hope thats how you spell it. We ended up being there for the birthday of on of my comadre's sisters and so we decided to invite the family out for a birthday lunch and someone suggested Teochitlan. This is a small fishing town with a nice lake surrounded by tons of seafood restaurants. They had a nice water play area for the kids that was a hit, it was so serene, cool and calm, we had a great lunch! Here are some pictures but again, they dont do the place any justice, my camera was acting up and I wasn't able to get a flash, they look dark but you get the idea. My lil guy was loving his hot dog and I included a pic of my plate which im not sure what it was called but I do know it is a heart attack in the making!

Town Plaza

Since I hadn't been to Mexico in a while and all you hear in the U.S is how dirty everything is, I was imagining that everything in the town was filthy and falling apart but to my surprise the plaza and church were just as clean and beautiful as the park. I added the last pics that include my girls hair, getting their hair done every other day was one of the highlights of the trip for them!

Scenic Views

I have always loved the country and consider myself a country girl so when we actually move to Mexico, I want to live in the country or Pueblo. Luckily, the town my father was from is perfect distance from beaches and Guadalajara so you have the best of both worlds. The town is small and you can easily walk from one end to the other in 1-2hours so we walk everywhere when we are there, no need for a car. We went to the "unidad deportiva" while there and it is at the outskirts of the town and the scenery was beautiful and reminded me of why I love it there. The park was very neat and clean and well maintained too. I'm not that good at taking pictures so you cant really appreciate how nice it is.

Bull Riding

When I was little I used to love to go watch the bull riding, it used to start with the "mojiganga"(people dressed in funny costumes acting stupid) and the banda walking through the town towards the location. Once we got to the place, there were food vendors of every kind, the banda playing and people dancing, it was one of my favorite things to do so I wanted to make sure my kids were able to experience it. It was a hit, they loved it, my lil guy the most as you can see in the pictures below.

Our future home

This will be our home when we eventually move to Mexico, it's small and needs a LOT of work but we are excited to get started!

Im too excited to sleep!

Tomorrow at this time I will be in Mexico, and I am sitting in bed thinking "I know I am forgetting to pack something?" We are all so excited, we havent been to Mexico in years and I am just hoping the fruits have begun to ripen. Wish me luck and I will be sure to have some good pictures when I get back!
