Aventuras de Andres y Zach: Christmas, New Years, Friends, Family And Our First Drive Back To The States!

Well, we finally drove back to the USA after 7 months of living in Mexico. It was a long 3 Day - 30 hour trip, but beautiful. We got to visit with my folks for 2 weeks, my brother, hang with good friends, eat yummy food and best of all spend time in Santa Barbara. Now it was a big culture shock going back to the USA for the first time by car in over 6 months. The first thing I noticed was that I could actually read and understand every sign posted on the roads. The second big things was that I felt much safer at night driving due to the lack of cows, horses, dogs and people on the side of the highways. We spent a good 3 days and around 30 hours driving from Ajijic back to Santa Barbara. The drive is super easy and actually very beautiful, just long. We arrived back in SB on Saturday the week before Christmas and the weather was fantastic. We walked the beaches a few times and spent a ton of time with my family. The boys loved hanging out with the Cousins (Morgan and Shane). We got to stay for 2 whole weeks and that is the first time in over 15 years that we have taken longer then 2 weeks vacation. One of the beautiful things about living in Mexico is that you can afford to stop working for 3 weeks and not go bankrupt when you own your own business. Well here are a ton of photos from the trip. I won’t bore you with painful details about the trip. Happy New Year to all of you and I hope this year is the best ever!
