Hello everyone! I came home for the weekend with my friend Nicole who is also from San Diego. So far my weekend has consisted of me sleeping and sleeping some more. Today I went to Barona Casino with my mom and aunt and we all ended up leaving with more money! Here is a picture of us having pho for dinner tonight. Since I don't have school on Mondays I am staying the full day tomorrow and leaving monday morning. Hope everyone is doing well.

More Mexico

Here a some more photos taken by Tui.

Mexico 2012

Here are a few pictures.  The town is growing and seemed to be more crowded than in past years.  the secret may be out.  There are 3 or 4 new restaurants and many more beach elements (bars, massages, . . .)  The weather was the same as always, very hot with occasional rain.  We picked a very windy/rainy day to go fishing.  We caught a bunch but Nathan and I got sick.  We cooked them at the windy place and they were very good.  We spent some time researching for Missy's wedding next year and it sounds like the house they wanted is going to work out well.  This is two doors down from Casita Blanca and has 10 bedrooms.

Happy New Year

Is everybody home from Mexico? Please post photos!!!

We had a really great time in Connecticut. We met some of Bob's family in Rhode Island, and spent an afternoon skating at an outdoor rink, and then got stuck in a blizzard coming home. Very exciting for the boys. We were caravaning with 2 cars, and Bob and Uncle Steve had to push our car up Snake Hill, and then turn around and approach Grandma Jan's from another direction. The blizzard left about 1 foot of snow at Jan's, and Steve taught us all how to make snow caves. It really worked! We mounded and packed the snow up into  large piles, waited 2 hours for it to settle, and then dug out a cavern inside. Photos to follow. Neither Bob or I took a camera, so we're waiting for Uncle Steve to e-mail us some choice shots.

We also took a really great walk in the woods behind Jan's and explored some old dumping grounds full of really old cars, wooden spoked wheels, and lots of other stuff. Norwich was established by europeans in the 1600s, and prior to that had large populations of Indians. We went to an absolutely fantastic Indian museum, established on casino gambling profits which amounted to billions in the last decade.
