Retro: Family at the Pyramids
A visit from Shari’s parents – Gary and Ardys – 10 years ago! On this day in December 2008, we were trekking around the pyramids at Teotihuacán. Here’s a great picture of the intrepid explorers!

Retro: A Candy House
Every year, the Camino Global missionaries of Mexico get together for a few days of teaching and fellowship. That’s what we were up to 10 years ago today.
Someone had organized a family craft time – making “candy houses” (cardboard base – sorry, no gingerbread).
Apparently Hannah and Nathanael were in a patriotic mood that day, as they worked with Cathy Fry, freeing candy canes from their plastic bonds.
Retro: Turkey Watch 2008
Ten years ago today it was Thanksgiving. The bad news is that Nathanael wasn’t feeling very well. The good news was that we got this classic picture of him calmly watching the turkey. This was at home in Ixtapaluca.
Belated happy Thanksgiving to you all! 🙂
Retro: ¡Vive México!
10 years ago this month we were having a very patriotic time in Mexico City! It was a part of our orientation time, and Shari and I went to see the Ballet Folklórico, and spent some time exploring downtown Mexico City.
We even got some pictures of the lowing of the flag, right in the zocalo (main downtown square). Here you go…
And here’s a close-up of the above, showing the soldiers doing their job:
If it’s raining, or if there’s a chance of rain, the flag won’t be raised or lowered. The reason being, the flag gets far too heavy to handle – I’m sure you can see why!
Retro: School Photos (New Year, New City)
Ten years ago today. A new school year was about to begin, and we were in a new city – Ixtapaluca. So, it was time for some paperwork, including new photos of Hannah and Nathanael!
Retro: Amy & Nate
Really? Ten years already?
That’s right! Ten years ago tomorrow, Nate and Amy got married! (For the uninitiated, Amy is Shari’s sister). Congratulations!
So this would be their “tin” anniversary. Tin protects and preserves other metals, so I believe it represents the continued preservation of a precious marriage.
Anyway, here they are the day before the wedding – ten years ago today!
