The Lost Files

Michael went back to Mexico to help out at the Saltillo plant for this past week. It got me thinking that I never posted some of my pictures from our last month there. The following pictures were taken in July 2009 and offer a glimpse of life in Saltillo and Arteaga. Enjoy.

Pictures

I found a bunch of pictures on my camera from our last month in Mexico. Thought I'd share a few.

This post is pictures from our last trip to South Padre Island in Texas. Michael and I drove to Texas, picked up his parents from the airport, then headed to the island for a couple days. After our little vacation, we went back to Saltillo, Mexico to show Chuck and Kathy our "home," let them experience the Mexican culture, and then we packed up all our belongings and headed back to Michigan.

These are not in a very nice order - I am annoyed because the blog is not allowing me to move my pictures around. Anyone know how to do this?

Beautiful sunsets

Love this sign

Michael wanted to catch a seagull. Notice how close he was to the "road" on the beach. He got some confused looks.

The birds are becoming intrigued by the chips scattered on the towel. But why is the towel breathing, they wonder.

Giving up - probably a bit toasty under a towel in temps over 100

Some say I walk on water.

This was an alarming moment for me - thousands of seagulls swarming around and swooping at my head - it made me very nervous

The seagull hang-out. All the cool birds have their own post.

Went to Colorado, Took 3 pictures

Michael and I went to Colorado this past weekend. We left at 3:30 pm on Wednesday, drove through the night and arrived in Fort Collins at 9:30 am Michigan time. After a couple hours rest at Brandon and Kristin's place, we drove another 2.5 hours to Dillon and went skiing at A Basin. We spent Thursday night at a "classy" motel in Silverthorn and skied Keystone on Friday. Friday night we drove back to Fort Collins, had dinner with Brandon and Kristin, and relaxed at their place. Saturday morning we headed back to A Basin with Brandon. After another day of skiing, we enjoyed a free meal at Chick fil a - then Michael and I hit the road - returning home around 2:30 pm on Sunday. It was a quick trip, but we had a good time.

Here are the three pictures I took in Colorado:
