So I just came back from Mexico. I had a lot fun and definitively I enjoyed more this time than the last time I went about 5 years ago. I visited some towns/cities that I haven’t been before like Patzcuaro, Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende. They were very beautiful and peaceful.  I’ll have to come back soon and visit more of those kinds of places.

Uriangato ( Where I Grew Up )

I also spent plenty of time in my hometown ( Uriangato/Moroleon ). It was very different, it doesn’t look too much like the very small town I left 10 years ago… also people I know have changed a lot. some of them I could hardly recognize.  I have never been a person with lots of friends, I guess I could say I have always preferred quality instead of quantity…  so I was glad to see/hang out with just a few of my good friends I have.

Well, I took tons of pics but I don’t think I’ll go trough all of them as it would take me a lot of time. Well, eventually I may post them all in a website I have almost forgotten of my hometown. ( uriangato.org ) so for now here are just a few that I like; they are from Morelia, Yuriria, Guanajuato, Patzquaro, Janitzio, San Miguel de Allende, Uriangato and  Moroleon ( la feria ).

So I’m taking a small vacation in my hometown in Mexico. It took me forever to get here as I drove to Jacksonville first.  mmm…  let’s says  I just was going to pick something and pass the night there.  But then I spent a whole day  as I decided to get a pair of new tires as the tread wasn’t too good.  After the car was all set. I went to Jacksonville Beach but It was cold so I didn’t spend too much time.

All the way the weather was fine except in Huston where it was raining hard so it was great that I bought the tires…

I then got some issues getting the car permit  and wasted another day. It took forever to cross the border again and  then I had some other issues in getting the paper I was supposed to get  in Laredo tx in order to get the permit in the Mexican side…  so I had some time to browse around Laredo and take some pics until I got faxed some documents I needed…

I also did another stop in a little town… near Queretaro.  mmm.. Lets  says, I went to drop the thing I got in Jacksonville but I ended up spending the whole day there ….

I took a lot of pics and videos with the phone and camera while driving. I think I was in a longest Photodrive I had ever taken.    i know, it sounds dangerous but I think it’s a nice way to keep me distracted….
