Yesterday we headed to Mexico. Due to road trips to Tuscon & San Diego, it’d been about 1 month since we’d been and we were simply due for a trip (rough life, eh?). Our short 6.5 hours were filled with fun, yet random events. This seems to happen every time we travel south.
After a typical morning at church, we headed back home (our Mexico home) and watched some football. No....not futbol (the Spanish version of soccer), but American football. Before you knew it, I was teaching Lety (our Mexican mama) the ins and outs of “futbol americano”. Go Ducks!
Shortly after teaching words like “touchdown” and “quarterback”, we were off to the veterinarian. Poor little Orejas (Spanish for “Ears”), the family puppy, was sick. We drove to San Luis only to arrive at a closed vet’s office. Luckily, a man was working in the back and was willing to give Orejas a shot. Sometimes though, when we are in Mexico, I forget to translate things to keep Wes in the loop. When he saw the man coming outside to the curbside with a needle, he thought we were putting Orejas down to sleep...for good! He quickly said, “Well this is random and sad.” Oops. Sorry, Wes!

On our way back to Islitas, we stopped and grabbed some delicious puerco (pork). We supplemented the puerco with homemade tortillas and salsa at home. Why is authentic Mexican food so stinkin delicious? Seriously!

After lunch, we headed over to Margarita’s for some Vieyra family time. Ironically, the kids and men got busy and Wes managed to get stuck watching Space Jam with a bunch of middle aged women. Haha. Awesome. Samy really made fun of me though, when he found out that the Space Jam soundtrack was sitting in our car. I can’t wait to crank it up next time he rides with us.
Even though we had to endure a 2 hour wait at border crossing on the way back to our Yuma home, there is nothing sweeter than having friends and families that love us so very much...and spoil us with delicious food.
