| A pre-dinner splash in Mazatlan (a seawall promenade runs along the city's stunning coast) where I got in big trouble from the locals for letting them get so close to the enormous waves. |

| Sam crashing a wedding. Actually, he was immersed in the soccer game being televised across the street and didn't even notice the brilliant wedding party walk by. |
 |
| Bouncy balls with shiny ribbons attached are hugely popular with the stylin' kids of Guadalajara. |

| Sam, demonstrating what a good listener he has become, now that he's 10. |

| Watching the street orchestra warm up. |

| Breakfast and a too-short visit with Cait and Megh in Mexico City!! |
 |
| The Cathedral in Zocolo, Mexico City's central square. Construction began in 1573 and took only several hundred years to complete! |
 | |
| One of Rivera's astonishing murals in the National Palace. |
 |
| Pro Natura, an organization in Cardel doing scientific research on the migration of hawks and dragonflies! |
 |

Yesterday they had over 18 000 raptors fly overhead! The numbers increase in October and each year there are between 4 and 5 million that migrate through (the surrounding mountains and ocean create a corridor where all the migratory paths converge.) |
