Day 23

Today after Bonnie took the kids to school she ran some errands and I worked for a while in my office. We took an Uber to go sightseeing later that morning. It was odd not having four kids around us and we really enjoyed the freedom to go where we pleased on a moments notice.

Above we are posing in front of the Basílica colegiata de Nuestra Señora de Guanajuato. It is the most iconic structure in all of Guanajuato, built between 1671-1676, one hundred years before we declared our independence from England.

Here is a shot from the inside.

After visiting the basilica, we walked to the market place in the center of the city. We bought tilapia and cactus to make fish tacos for dinner. We also bought freshly made flour tortillas. See the video below.

This would be a great time to end the blog, but something happened on the way home from walking the older three home from school that I had to document. Our middle boys (ages 6, and 8) held hands all the way home from school. The walk is about a mile, and at the start of the walk I snuck a photo of them holding hands, it was all very nonchalant how they were acting, as if it is just normal practice. It isn’t. During the walk home Lydia and I were talking and I kept stealing glances behind me and low and behold they held hands the entire way home even as they walked into the house. It was really touching to see that because these two sometimes don’t get along, and that is an understatement. 😀
