Day 13 Feb. 22nd Wednesday
High Temp: 90. Up early but hung around the house before heading up the centro for some decent coffee, we decided after all the long bus riding the day before that we would skip going to the Water Park. Instead we would go to the Salto de San Anton a tall waterfall in the city. We grabbed a cab and got over there but unfortunately the place was closed for cleaning, we had a nice driver who took us back to the Cathedral and we walked around until we found the Robert Brady Museum.
This incredible house full of artifacts and art was the summer home of Robert Brady. It is an amazing place. We ran into Victor and Nellie again there, very funny. They were getting a tour from the director and we joined for a while. The guy was very interesting but it was also nice just to walk around.
We spent a good amount of time there before taking the craziest ride back to the house with a bus driver who even for the crazy Cuernavaca standards was insane. Even the locals were nervous on the bus. We had some amazingly great chicken croquets for dinner with a tangy lime sauce, rice and beans. I ate like a pig enjoying every moment of it. Watched some TV until I was asked by Elisa to walk with her to the shop of a ceramics teacher she had been trying to set up a lesson with. We wandered up to the place and after some trial and error found the shop...closed. Elisa left a note in Spanish and we went back and played cards teaching Jorge Crazy 8s. Talked to Cheri before turning in for the night.

Day 14 Feb. 23rd Thursday
High Temp: 91 Our last full day in Mexico. We got up and had breakfast and took a taxi to the Mega (a Walmart type store). Senora _____ wanted to shop so came along while she did that and made her way home we walked across the street to the Muros Museum. Built by the Costco company the museum has an impressive collection of Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and other Mexican modernist paintings. Not a very large museum it is an interesting one, with multimedia displays and photographs it was a good see. I forgot my GPS so I did not mark this one. After that we took a taxi to the centro and got a sandwich and some coffee. We split up at this point as Joy and Elisa went off shopping and I sat around the square looking at people. We made our way back to the house separately. Dinner was salad, beefsteak, pickled cactus and rice. I had a hot but good chipolte salsa with mine. Played basketball with the Joyous one and packed for the trip home. Can't say I slept very well because I never do when I have to travel the next day

Day 15 Feb. 24th Friday
High Temp: 90. Up early and all packed so it was just about breakfast and saying goodbye to the family as the time got closer. We made the bus to the Airport without issue and leaving the country was easy enough to check in bags and have them swabbed for cocaine before sending them off to the storage of the plane. We had quite a bit of time to kill before we got to the plane so we went to a nice Italian restaurant in the airport and ate lunch. We waited at a gate until they announced our plane. We boarded and were not near too many crying children so everything went well. It was a long day of travel from 7 am until 10:50 when our plane landed. Cheri was right on time getting us at Logan and we were home by midnight. Great trip!!!!!
