Just Us

Charles and I went on one of his business trips together. We first stopped in Zacatecas. My favorite place so far. Full of history and beauty. Most of the town is made with a pink stone. We took a tour with a group and the story that stuck most with me was about the pope's visit. He planted a tree and when a frost came it was the only tree that lived through it. The pope also rung the bell on the church so they now ring it everyday at that time.

We then went to Torreon. Charles went to work and I stayed at the hotel that was surrounded by a large mall, resting and reading and walking. Peaceful and strange. He worked with these guys and then took me out to dinner with them one night. Loved the food. They are a great group of people. I enjoyed our dinner together and all their fun stories.
On our way back home we went to see a ghost town called Real de Catorce. It was an old Spanish mining town in the middle of no where. Lots of miles of cobblestone road. The tunnel was so awesome to drive in but I would pray never to be in it during an earthquake.
