Today we leave Mexico. We´ve had great fun here but to be fair so have the mosquitos and sand flies.We flew into Mexico city on the 13th of June, not very long to see this big country. But luckily we had our Mexican adopted parents Luis senior and Chela to give us advice and show us some places.Some of the things we did with them were went to hot springs, saw some beautiful churches, went to the beach, ate seafood including heaps and heaps of lobster, saw a ship...
