A Day In The Mountains

September 18, 2008

We spent the 16th of September (Mexico's Independence Day) in the beautiful mountains. Because of the rains this year, it is so green and wildflowers are everywhere. We spent the day with our cousin/friends. It is a great blessing to be able to call family, "friends."
We stopped at a little store in a small mountain town and this is what we found on the shelf above the door.
Everyone purchased their snack and climbed into the back of the truck for the ride. This was the snack of choice...Limon chips with chile and fresh lemon, and a Clamato to wash it down, followed by a chile sucker to pass the time...hummmm....where did these children come from??
These beautiful Dahila's were outside of the store where we stopped. The best part was the little old woman who was watching me from her window, while I was taking pictures of the flowers. I tried to photograph her...but she quickly closed the curtains.
Every corner we rounded, we found another beautiful scene. This was taken by The Farmer...he has a great eye.
