Trip to Mexico

So what do you guys think about this - a Heward Family Trip to Mexico. I was thinking something simple and fun. I know that Mark and Caroline will be going next month (in May), but I think that it would be fun to go as a family. If you want to take your kids now is the time, because in a couple of months newborns and infants will even need a passport to get back into the United States. If we wait too much longer Jen and Caroline will have new borns and won't be able to travel much. I think that it would be fun, and a simple quick weekend trip. What do you guys think about it? Here are some pictures to get you excited.

Mummies of Guanajuato

I wasn't allowed to take pictures of the mummies in Guanajuato, and I actually followed the rules while I was in the museum. However, I have decided to post some pictures of the mummies on here so you could see what I got to see. Note that all the arms of the mummies are either crossed or placed to the side. However, there is one mummy that appears to be biting her arm, which in fact she was. She was buried alive. They were pretty freaky.

Ryan's Trip to Guanajuato

Guanajuato, Mexico is full of Mexican history and culture. There you can find the Mummies of Guanajuato and some of the oldest churches in Mexico and the New World. Much of the cities road system is in underground tunnels made of brick and stone. Every year at the beginning of October they hold the Cervantino Festival. People from all over the world come to eat and look at local and foreign art. UNESCO has declared the city a world cite and local city code is very strict in trying to uphold and preserve the Spanish Colonial city. It was so much fun and there was so much to see and do.

I went to the Wedding of Brisa and Omar (Brisa is a friend from ASU). She got married in San Miguel de Allende, which is every bit as beautiful as Guanajuato. In fact there is more local art and many more gardens there. Both cities were colonial Spanish cities and revolved around mining. In fact the state of Guanajuato is one of the richest mining areas of the entire world.
