Cuauhtemoc

We left Creel on January 30th and headed for Cuauhtemoc, we were staying at Loewen's RV Park which is owned by the Mennonites. The 1st night we had a Mennonite "Family Style" Dinner. The next day we went on a tour of a Mannonite School, the kids sang for us and read from their books, but everything is in High German. At home they speak Low German, you would think they would teach the kids spanish too, since they are in Mexico, but they don't. We gave all the kids candy, then headed for a Mennonite Church. For lunch we were invited to a Mennonite house for lunch, low and behold, they sell stuff there too, who would have thunk. Well, it was a good thing tho because I got a quilt for the baby, all hand stitched for only $45. When we looked at that kind of stuff at the Omish places in Pennsylvania the cost were a few hundred dollars, so I just couldn't pass that up. Now for the baby we have a quilt, rattle like thing, and leather sandals. After lunch we went to a Mennonite Museum and watched a movie and looked at old farm equipment, nothing really exciting.
Then Dave, Lee, Vicki and I went into the town of Cuauhtemoc and walked around, while driving into town this guy on a motorcycle, he was almost next to us, he hit the curb and we all watched him and his bike tumble down the street. He got up limping so we guess he was OK but there was no way we could or would stop and help him. Asshole shouldn't have been driving so fast and cutting to the inside.
