The Parental Unit: Part 1
This is long overdue.
I've always known I had cool parents but their visit to Morelia reminded me of that in spades. We hit all the local spots, took a day trip to the lakes, and enjoyed tons of good food including a home cooked meal at Marisol's house. Mostly we just sat around and talked which was the best part.
Prior to my move to Mexico my parents had only met the girlfriend for a two-hour breakfast at our house in Palo Alto. This trip gave everyone a little more time to get to know each other. Marisol's mom doesn't speak English, the rest of the family does, so Marisol and I got in a good dose of translating.
The hotel my parents stayed is amazing and just happens to be the oldest hotel in all of Mexico. It first served as an Inn in 1752.
I'll have to break the photos into a few post because there are lots. Here is the first set.
