… The night I got back from Mexico City it rained. Coming from an area where temperatures where in the mid 70s and humid to a cooler rainy night with the windows opened only meant one thing for me, a cold.
Sure enough I got one. Making matter worse was the night I drove home from work the next day in the rain; I got a flat tire and had to change it … on the side of the freeway. Well that was until the CHP came by and told me that it would be better if I drove my car another half mile to an off ramp and complete the tire change.
So, welcome back home. I’m just now getting over being sick; almost two weeks later.
… The dentist is something I’ve been avoiding since I got my crown done in 1997. Well a week before my trip I had a tooth crack. I went three weeks before getting the crown placed. Of course, doing that, they are going to find other things wrong.
In a way, my teeth are better than I thought; I only need three fillings redone. My gums are another problem.
I’m going to need a scaling. For those of you that don’t know what that is, it is where they really clean your gums so good that you need Novocain. So yes, it’s painful. The other thing is that it can only be done in four parts with a different quadrant of your mouth done at a time.
So I got that going for me, which is nice.
… Since getting back I’ve been reading about my sister’s adventures in Mexico with my dad and family. She got there after two days after I left and was there longer than me also traveling from Mexico City to Guadalajara. Looking all the photos and reading the stories she wrote about the trip makes me want to go to the state of Jalisco even more. She got to see the pueblos my parents came from and meet family.
Seeing what she got to see and the people she meet has given me more incentive to tell my dad the next time I talk to him: When are we going back?
So yes, I’m looking forward to my next trip to Mexico with my dad.
