We just arrived back in Mexico City from spending a week in Texas. We needed to renew our tourist visas as we wait for our permanent visas. We took opportunity on this trip to take mom to the airport in Houston where she went on to Calgary to visit my sister. We had a great time with Oma and showed her many neat things about this great city. We also did a lot of shopping in Texas because 1. it's very hard to find our size of clothes here, 2. The quality of affordable clothes is terrible here and 3. The clothes in Texas are much cheaper than Mexico City. We have been really surprised that Mexico City is as expensive as it is. How people with less income than ourselves live here is beyond me. Brittany also took some time to visit with her Texas high school friend and basketball team mate, Veronica (pictured with Brittany). She is a really neat kid and when she is with us, she feels like one of the family. The other thing we enjoyed was getting some great Texas food. We love Texas BBQ, especially brisket from Rudy's BBQ in Pharr, TX. In Houston we visited Cracker Barrel where they specialize in southern cooking. I love the Cat Fish. Yummy! Outside the store, they sell old fashioned rocking chairs and we took a nice picture of the girls trying them out.
