We've started going swimming on a regular basis just to keep in shape and we found a nice place with a regulation size Olympic pool. Annika and my brother kept on swimming long after I gave up and Annika finished with an impressive 1200 meters only the second day we went there!
Then, Wednesday last week, we used the excuse of wanting to go watch Robin Hood (because in the town where we're staying they only have it dubbed into Spanish) and we made a day trip to the city of Queretaro. We walked in many o
f the nice streets we didn't get a chance to see last time we were there and at lunch we ate in this nice place where we could see people walk by and we finally wrote the postcards we had been wanting to mail for a while. My brother went with us on this trip and both Annika and him kept making faces every time I tried to take a picture of them. It was a good day (and eventually we did get to see a movie).
Annika's been baking a lot lately and she's been coming up with some really good things! My mother loves her cinnamon rolls by now and her apple pie is not all too shabby to not put too fine a point to it.
We've been taking a lot of walks as well, and a few days ago, we finally climbed up the hill that's close to my mother's place. There Annika got to try some sort of berries that grow on a species of cactus that is very common in the area. She liked them and said we should make a pie out of that.
We also went to 
Tequisquiapan, a quaint little town not too far away form here where we had some funky drinks and other than being a nice town, it's only call to fame is that it's considered to be the geographical center of the country. So in this picture, Annika is smack dab in the middle of Mexico!
