To tie up a few loose ends...

First, I'm only bringing souvenirs back for a few people. I don't like people giving me junk and I don't want to give people junk, so unless I found something I think is perfect for you, I won't bring you something back. Don't be offended. I'm sparing you from having to receive a gift with false gratitude and from feeling like you have to wear it or display it on your bookshelf whenever I come to your house.

Second, thank you so very, very much to everyone who has kept in touch with me during this trip, especially with my sparse internet and phone service. And especially during the holiday seasons when everyone is incredibly busy. I've had some hard times here and the emails you've sent and posts you've made on this blog have been a tremendous support. Plus it's nice to know I'm not forgotten...I've certainly not forgotten any of you.

Third, a lot of the people we met in Mexico don't have computers, but to those of you who do and may be reading this, I'd like to express a very sincere thank you. The kindness we've received during our stay in Mexico means so much to us and will never be forgotten. Remember to look us up if you are ever in Chicago!

Finally, I'm about to finish posting about the time we spent in California before we traveled to Mexico. We spent almost a week staying with our great friends, the Lipmans. I'll posted the Cali posts in chronological order so they'll at the beginning of this blog.

Here are a few pictures of our last place in Sayulita...
