Yesterday was the first day Derek said "I kind of miss home". It`s strange the things that you miss when you are away. Here is the top items on the list:

1. Hanging out with friends and family (people who actually understand what we are saying!)
2. Pasta (derek)
3. Our own bed (amen - our backs are both sore!)
4. A couch to sit on

This is my third and last attempt at pictures from the mountain trip we took:

Derek & Victor loading rocks into the back of the van so we can get up the first part of the mountain. If you remember from our previous post - 3 hours for 24 kms!








This is a view from the front of the home of the family we stayed with. The village was called via verde.






We parked our van beside this vehicle for the night. I`m glad that he wasn`t our mode of transportation up the mountain...although it may not have been such a bumpy ride!

If you don`t know what we did in the mountains, check our previous post!

Hey Jo and Derek

Missing home can be quite the challenge.

Home though can be experienced in many places. We continue to hold you up in our prayers and pray that your extended family in Mexico will grow to the extent that you will forget all about your family in Canada.

OK, maybe that was over the top, nope, for sure that was over the top, but we do pray. :)

By the way Derek, in your honor, we will be having lasagna tonight but we will have to do it without the dried, crumbled rattlesnake for a topping. In this country, some things are hard to get as well.

I made posole last night.............
