Meanwhile... (The Sequel)

We're back in México, D.F. only minutes from going to the airport to return to Switzerland.

The baptism of Luis Edurado was a huge family event. I did not take pictures of the priest performing his duties in the templo (as churches are called here, since the term church refers to the institution), however, I took this picture of Toño with his father, brothers and sisters after hours of feasting and dancing:



The rest of the week we spent in Toño's home town, letting Toño spend some quality time with his godson. We also visited his sister Leo, who works as the dentist in a hospital for the poor in a small village in western Michoacán. The week was concluded with a big quails dinner at his third sister's place in Morelia.

As I said, now we are back in México, D.F. relaxing in the town house of a good friend of Toño's. It's a lovely place, full of art collected in the entire world and surrounded by bougainvillea plants. There is no better place than to say farewell to México.
