Joyfully Retired
DH and I are taking a little trip to Guanajuato, Dolores Hidalgo and San Miguel de Allende. Hey, there's a "mummy museum" in Guanajuato! And great Talavera pottery in Dolores Hidalgo. We'll be back late Sunday night (2/22), so you'll see me again next week. Hasta luego!
 
I'll be sure to take lots of mummy pictures...these are not Mayan or Aztec mummies. They are just ordinary people whose families did not pay some burial tax during the 19th and 20th centuries. The dry weather in the mountains there (elevation almost 7000 ft) turned them into mummies. Grisly. Here is a link if you want to know more:

Ooooh, Karen, this is fascinating! I've never heard of these mummies. Amazing. I can't wait til you come back with pics. Have a wonderful time, girlfriend!
 
Hi Karen, please enjoy your trip, be safe and have fun! You deserve it! And take some pictures to share with us!!!
 
Have fun! I have always wanted to get to explore Mexico. Only been to the border towns and Mazatlan.... sounds exciting... post pics when you get back!
 
Hey amigos - thanks to all of you for your good wishes. I'm signing off for tonight because we have to get up at 5 am (argghh). See you all next week with lots of pics....ya'll behave yourselves now.
 
Too late for you to see this, but I can't wait until you get back and show us those mummy pics!! I too am fascinated by them.
 
Hey, when you get up, it will be beer time! "It's 5 o'clock somewhere!
Seriously, have a blast. That trip sounds exciting as heck!
