Finished that above layout of our brush with royality while in Mexico. Journaling reads, "We stopped in the town of Morelia, the capital in the state of Michoacán. At our hotel, Hotel Virrey de Mendoza, we noticed that barricades were being assembled around the hotel. We soon learned that some special guest were to be arriving. Prince Felipe & Princess Letizia of Spain, President Calderon of Mexico & his wife, and the Governor of Michoacán, Governor Godoy & his wife. Also, in the town were many, many police, both local and federal, looked like all of the Mexican army and many secret service men. There had been a bombing in the town just two weeks before so am assuming that is why all the precautions. Getting a photo of any them was no easy feat as there were hundreds of people. Only photos that came out were of Governor Godoy, President Calderon’s wife and the hair of Princess Letizia. :) We were allowed back in the hotel since we were staying there and that is when we met them all. Only thing is that no photos were being allowed in the hotel. Bummer! So the photo I have of them all I took from the internet. It shows them with the Children’s Choir of Morelia. Didn’t mention the international tiff I got into with some Spanish women. Ahh but, that’s another story."

Beautiful day outside today and here I am still not dressed. Leaves are starting to fall here and it won't be long before we have piles and piles to rake up. Lawn mower can only do so much, after that, we're on our own. Hopefully it will stay dry. Hate when you have to pick up wet leaves. Nothing much going on. Alex goes next week to Baton Rouge for a few days...work related...so will be taking and picking her up from the airport. When we went to Mexico we left and came back at the newest terminal at the airport. Very nice. Soooo....better get dressed before it's time for bed. Ü
