We are home and back into our routines. The trip back went well - everything was on time and no problems with flight to Houston and then to Mexico City. We only had an hour between flights in Houston but taking the tram from one terminal to the other was a breeze, especially since we did not have to go through security again.
It was almost 10 p.m. by the time we cleared customs in Mexico City - which was simple and we didn't have our luggage inspected - darn, I could have brought that russet potato back with me like I was tempted to do. There is basically only one kind of potato here - white. It's good but boring. How nice it would be if John could grow some Russets - but it is not to be - yet.
In the Mexico City airport there was a little office for the Ramada where we had reservations. It's right by the airport but you have to take a shuttle to get there. The woman in the office called them and we waited there comfortably until it arrived. The hotel was very nice and we had a little bite to eat in the restaurant before retiring.
In the morning we had no schedule as the buses to San Miguel from the airport run every 50 min. So, we went down for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised to find a huge breakfast buffet included in the price of the room. We had lovely custom made omelettes - among other things. The shuttle took us back to the airport where we boarded a bus for the trip back home - well actually to Queretaro and then a taxi ride to our house. That was the worst part of the trip - it was hot and the taxi had no a/c and he drove too fast. Oh well, we made it. The doggies were thrilled to see us and we them. It's always good to be home.
We would have to say that this was an excellent home exchange and our exchange partners also had a great time in San Miguel.
