Our Mexico Trip

Well I'm having troubles sending photos from AOL down here in Mexico, so I thought I'd try a blog instead. We're having a great time with Carlos' family. Isabel and I are eating some yummy foods, and I believe the "grand finale" today will be tamales and churros. Yum-o! Here are some of the photo highlights thus far:


My sobrino, nephew, Leonardo. He is 4 weeks younger and 10 pounds lighter than Isabel




"Nico" & "Chabela" having breakfast al fresco on the roof. Conchas have been a daily delight here in Mexico. They are made fresh every night by their uncles in the bakery above the house.





The kids with their uncle Tonio (Chino) and their abuelita, grandmother, Leti. This is in the bakery above the house. Tonio is only 1 1/2 years younger than Carlos.




This is Carlos' dad, Jose Antonio, Sr. The reason Nicholas is not in the photo is because he was sleeping in the other room. This picture was taken in the house of Carlos' sister, Erika.




This is our first night in Mexico. We went to eat pizza at a local restaurant. I know, I know. The Esparza family eating pizza in Mexico sure is unusual. But it was delicious. In this photo, front row is Carlos' sister Ana (16), Carlos' mother Leti, & Nicholas; back row is Carlos' sister Lupe (12), Isabel, Carlos's sister Erika (24), Carlos' godfather Sergio, & Erika's daugher Jacqui (4). Jacqui is one month younger than Nicholas and they have been inseperable the whole time we've been in Mexico.
