Quick Post 2

Hey guys...so here's what's new: I'm leaving for Mexico City (aka "D.F.") at 5:45 am. It should be an eventful weekend. More importantly...I just got off the phone with a cousin I haven't seen in 20 years! I'm sooo excited to see some of my family (that I've never met before) tomorrow. My cousin Alfonzo came to the states when I was ~5 years old. He was in his twenties and used to play soccer for Mexico. That's mostly what I remember of him...I also remember that I adored him! So I'm really excited to get together with him, his mom, and one of his sisters. We're meeting for dinner tomorrow night at my hotel. Next weekend my family is having a quinciñeta in Toluca, Mexico. I doubt I'll be able to make it because one of our group trips is the same day, and I believe we're going to San Miguel de Allende. But if we get back at a reasonable hour, I'm gonna try to go to the party :-). However, if I can't make it, Alfonzo is gonna come out to Queretaro to hang out. I've only got a little over 2 weeks, so I hope there will be time to hang out. Also, my dad mentioned to me last night that my family is having a huge reunion in Chihuahuah in October and our family is planning on going. I'm way excited about that!
Anyhow, I'm gonna finish packing for the weekend and hit the hay early tonight. I miss everyone back home and can't wait to see ya'll...especially the kiddos :-). I heard Jackey's voice today, and I swear...I just know he's gonna look soooo different by the time I return. Darn kids grow up way too fast! LOL. Love ya!

PS. For those of you that keep arguing on Facebook that Mexico is not part of North America...and I know it is :-)...here's some links to reference :-D

*Central America IS part of North America (there's only 7 continents, Central America isn't one of 'em)
*Mexico is NOT part of Central America (Central America = countries south of Mexico, and north of South America)
*North America = Canada, US, Mexico, and Central America
*Guatemala is NOT part of Mexico
*Now, if you're talking about AGES ago when Central America was under water...then North America ended at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Mexico...however, in "real-life" it ends at the Isthmus of Panama
