I needed to leave Mexico because my tourist visa had expired. The only way to get a new visa was for me to leave
Mexico and then apply through the consulate for a new one; only then I could
return. So I decided to go home to the Seattle area for a month and visit
with my sons and grand kids. 
I did get the opportunity to visit with
friends, ex-coworkers, favorite places to eat and go to the Quilters Anonymous
Quilt Show. I enjoyed the gloomy cold
weather that is typical for Seattle, the buses rides, and seeing the old
sights. Going home for a short visit is enjoyable, but I do miss seeing the sights of
Mexico and can't wait to go back to traveling and photographing everything I
see.
I now have a temporary resident visa,
that is good for one to four years. The first of April I'll be on a plane on my
way back to finish my travels throughout Southern Mexico and point south. So
much to see and do...
