Trip to Mexico

This is a map of Mexico, the state we are visiting is in blue, Michoacan
This is the map of Michoacan, the city we are going is called Caurio, if you look on the map and find Zamora, it is bold and toward the upper left corner, you will see Caurio directly to the right


As many of you know, Gabe's parents were born and raised in Caurio, Michoacan, Mexico. They came to the United States when they we in their early 20s. While Gabe was growing up he would go back to Mexico every summer. Every since we got married, he has talked about us going there together. In 2007, Gabe's mom's father, his grandfather, became very ill. Myself, Gabe and Ella were planning an emergency trip to go and say goodbye. Unfortunately, Ella and myself did not have passports and we unable to go. Gabe went by himself. Gabe's father's father, Gabe's grandfather, is very ill. This is Gabe's last living grandparent. We decided as a family it was very important to us to go to Mexico as a family and see his grandfather. Gabe's parents are already in Mexico and own a home there that we will be staying in. Gabe's brother, Tino, is flying with us too. We are leaving today at 9:15am and will be in Mexico until Tuesday, June 23rd. We would appreciate your prayers for a safe flight and safety in Mexico. Stay tuned for pictures. Otherwise I will post as soon as we return to let you all know that we are home safe and sound.
