We are getting ready to leave today after our two weeks in Felipe's home town. It is sad and happy at the same time. We are glad to go back to our home and work (scary I know) but we are sad to be leaving his family again knowing we won't be back here for quite a few months. Today we packed and went around looking around his tow
n some more taking pictures and buying some presents for his family in the states. We also went to the cemetary because I wanted to see where his mother was buried and also his sister Hilaria that died last December. They are both buried in the same grave. All those flowers are from December 9th when it was the 1st anniversary of her death. It was sad to go there but it was nice to see it. Felipe's mom's name is no longer on the gravesite because the paint has worn off the cross (she died in Sept of 1991) but he asked his sisters if they could have it painted back on.

I don't have time to write much more because we want to visit with his family some more but I will upload all my pictures from our Tetelilla Christmas onto a web album and post the link here after we get home.
Buenos noches everyone and we'll hope for a safe journey back to Minnesota tomorrow. Dad told me it is -10. Gee, we can't wait! =(
