Meeting Madeleine

Madeleine (Paul's Mum) has come out to Mexico for a few days to see her granddaughter, us and the place. We went us to Mexico City to meet her.


We then traveled to the nearby old silver-mining city of Taxco. It's where Paul did his Spanish course back in 1999 and where our good friend Yareri runs an excellent restaurant called 'El Sotavento'.


It was Good Friday whilst we were in town, so there were processions of men carrying crosses and women in black with chains or white with candles - the children were dressed as little angels.




We marked the solemn occasion by buying Daisy/Rosie a helium balloon and Pabs a light-sabre.



Daisy's great-grandmother (Connie) had sent some chocolate and a Peter Rabbit to wish us a Happy Easter.
