Of course, I’m refer­ring to the upcom­ing pic­tures in this post from the just-ended, and thanks to Aeromex­ico, extended visit by my guy. He arrived on Thanks­giv­ing, and we had 5+ days together for his first visit to Mex­ico and our sec­ond visit since I arrived here in March. I am so happy that it is only 22 days until I leave for our Christ­mas visit. We didn’t do a lot dur­ing his visit, except for a day-trip to the Sierra Gorda and a cou­ple of arche­o­log­i­cal zones. We were back to shar­ing a cam­era, so who can really tell whose pic­tures are whose? I’m going to take credit for all of the best ones, of course. I guess I can acknowl­edge that the pic­tures with me in them were not taken by me. We were a five­some with Sarah and her Novio, and Sarah’s dog Bil­lie. Bil­lie has grown an incred­i­ble amount since Oax­aca, and of course tried to steal all the atten­tion. How­ever, the two sets of pyra­mids around San Joaquin are very nice and totally dif­fer­ent from the ones near Mex­ico City. These ruins are on top of the moun­tains. I would espe­cially rec­om­mend Toluquilla. It was an amaz­ingly tran­quil spot with great views of the sur­round­ing Sierra Gorda.

It actu­ally turned rather cold here for the rest of the visit, but that was fine since we could just eat good food and hang out in my apart­ment. I know the tacos were tasty and impres­sive to M., but I can barely describe how excited I am for fon­due in Zurich in 3 weeks. I am going to run as much as pos­si­ble over these next few weeks to pre­pare for all the cheese, choco­late, and biberli.
