We're back in Mexico.
And what a warm homecoming it was, two friends we're standing just outside our front door when we arrived. They had just left a note telling inviting us to lunch with their family. They'd made our favorite... tinga! (chiplotle chili sauce and pulled chicken on fried corn tostadas).
We handed out the perfunctory travel schwag to our friends - a mexican cultural requirement. Everyone caught up with each others' lives and we began the process of unpacking the load of stuff we'd brought back from our time in the U.S. (including all those Christmas gifts).
It's good to be back.
