This holiday season, Tony's mom and sisters came down to visit us and escape from Chicago's crazy weather. After spending one evening in DF having great food, courtesy of my dad, we drove down to Cocoyoc, where my mom's friend Olga had rented us a house for the week-end. We visited the nearby colonial towns of Tlayacapan and Tepoztlán and enjoyed the garden, the pool, the grill, etc... The Chicago Chicas really enjoyed leaving their coats and boots at home and hanging out by the pool in 80 degree (Farenheit) weather!
After Cocoyoc we spent two days in Taxco, where we had also rented a pretty colonial house. The town's incredibly steep and narrow cobbled streets and crazy drivers proved somewhat of a challenge, but the allure of the town and its infinite amount of silver shops made it all worth it!
We returned to DF tired but happy to enjoy two days of parties: first for Michelle's birthday, then for New Year's Eve. Michelle, my dad and some assistants (my uncle Dany, cousin Galia and I) prepared a monumental paella for the whole family on that day.
A weird stomach flu attacked Tony and his three sisters at the end of the trip, which was a real bummer, but overall we all keep great memories of this warm weather holiday trip.
Latest news say the weather is awful in most of the US... you could be here instead, sipping a cold beverage by the pool, and enjoying our company! Check out our pictures if you're still not convinced...
