26 days to go!!

26 more days until Mexico. We are excited! We are in luck. Love, Margo. Thank you for reading this  blog post.
My first Los Cuatro Gringos post... We had a great night last night with our Mexican vacation kickoff party. I was impressed with both of my girl's command of Spanish language and culture--and I now know I have much to learn before we go.

This will be my second trip to San Miguel De Allende and Guanajuato. Two years ago Sarah and I went as a pre-high school trip for her. I am fortunate to have a close friend there. We were given the grand tour and treated so well.  We only stayed for a few days but the beauty and history were amazing.

On this blog I will share some images old and new from San Miguel and Guanajuato. The colors and textures are stunning. During the short trip last time I wasn't always able to get the best light in any given location. I look forward to my two weeks this summer to shoot more! I will share a few of my images from the last trip until I have some new ones to post.

I am excited about Mexico because in Mexico we have a pretty house. You can stand on the roof but you will not fall because it has walls. You can see the city from there.

I hope I will meet other kids.  I hope they are nice.

Love,
Margo
Hello - We are the Limmer family.  It is now less than 1 month before we leave for San Miguel De Allende and Guanajuato.  We are staying at La Casa de la Espiga in San Miguel de Allende.  It is beautiful house close to the jardin with an attached casita which we hope friends will be able to visit us here in future years.

Tonight in preparation for our trip, we had a mini fiesta including dinner at a local restaurant where Sarah spoke to the waiters fluently and Margo showed great promise speaking Spanish.  Sarah shared the story of the traditional mexican pinata and Margo told us the story of Mexican Independence day (Cinco de Mayo).

All of us will be posting individually to this blog before and during our vacation.  We hope to share stories, pictures and memories with our friends and family.   Thank you for joining us on our journey!
