Dear Blog,



Let me just tell you about my day yesterday. We went to Cuernavaca to choose a hacienda for our wedding. So, we were all ready to go to Cuernavaca, but Juan was backing the car up and we got a flat tire. So, he changed the tire and put on the donut. We went to Cuernavaca anyway.



Of course, traffic was horrible. Cuernavaca shouldn't take more than an hour to get to, but it took us about three. We were hungry, so we stopped and ate, and it was my turn to drive. There is one hacienda we have liked, called San Gabriel de las Palmas, and you can see it from the interstate, but there is no way to get to it. It is right off a road that runs parrallel to 95, but there is no exit...nothing. We discovered this last time, and we figured out that the road it is on is 95 without the toll. This time, we did not take the toll road and just took the regular road. Big mistake. I now understand why you have to take the toll roads in Mexico. It added another two hours to our trip. Not only did the road wind through little towns, but there were surprise speedbumps all along the way. When I say surprise, I mean surprise. They were not painted yellow, and there were no signs. You didn't actually see the bumps until you were right there, so we had to slam the breaks, donut and all. By the time we got to the hacienda, it was too late to talk to anyone, but we did get to see a wedding in progress, although we didn't crash it.

Well, we wanted to look at one more hacienda. We weren't exactly sure how to get there, so Juan called the office. They told us to go about 30 minutes further south, toward Acapulco. Well, we got all the way to the state that Acapulco is in, and we didn't see it; we decided to turn around and go back. As it turns out, we were going the wrong direction. We ended up at the hacienda, but we were too late for the salespeople again. What a mess. I guess it will have to wait another week or so.

Twelve hours later, we were back in the chaotic city, which we lovingly (and begrudgingly) call home. Poor Monty.

This morning, we got the tire fixed. After that, we made pancakes and eggs for breakfast and went to the store. Oh yeah, and we got an extra hour to sleep! I love fall back...

Love ya,
