More from La Malinche

MTB only posted a few fotos of our trek. Here are a few more.....



First, the most common view of DTB as seen by MTB.



Next, the last 500 meters of the climb. Once I made it this far, the rest was pretty easy.






MTB, at the summit, outshining the sun!!!







Looking down to the trees and rocks below.



It is a great trek. We'll be happy to take be guides for anyone who would like to go!!!!!

The Most Common View of MTB (as Seen by DTB)

On our trek up La Malinche....



BTW -- That little dog, one of several stray dogs that was at the cabins, really liked MTB.




The dog accompanied us all the way to the summit of the mountain and all the way back. She would whine if she couldn't see one of us.....

A Quien Vas Tu? (Who do you want to win?)

The USA played Mexico today in a World Cup qualifying match. Since I'm the token gringo where I work, as well as a permanent resident of Mexico (I have my green card!!), everyone at the office wanted to know which team I wanted to win. I took a very political approach: When it comes to soccer, my heart is in Brasil.....

She Dreams

A few days ago, MTB told me about a dream she had the night before. She said that although she had not committed any crimes, she was in prison, and trying to escape. She was not scared at all. And she decided to climb the wall and jump over, even if the guards shot her.

Anyone want to postulate what her dream might mean???

A Few Pictures

MTB ususally posts pictures of where we have been. But I'm going to post a few that I took at
Xochicalo and Huatulco.

The city was built on a hill that gave it a commanding view of the Valley.


The most important structure is the Temple of the Feathered Serpent.





And except for a flying finger, this would be a great picture of the stairs leading to the plaza around the Temple of the Feathered Serpent.


And now on to Huatulco. Below are members of the greeting committee.



And here is DTB, acting like a dork. Imagine that!



A view across the bay.



And finally, Fernash auditioning for the SI Swimsuit issue.

Global Investing -- Anyone Want to Join In?

I need to arrange a trip to Costa Rica sometime in August or September. We are looking at property to buy. MTB will be spending a lot of time traveling in the last few months of the year, so she probably won't go with me. So, who wants to go with me? Make me an offer and the best offer gets to go along!!!

Dads' Day

The true measure of a father is how well his children live. And on that score, no one can beat me. Many thanx to Bethany, Ryan, Brittany, Ashley, Carrie, and Lindsey for being great people! (And of course, MTB had a lot to do with the great lives our children live. Many thanx her as well.)
