Because of winter storm warnings, Jake and Vereni and their children left for Salt Lake City one day earlier than they had planned. They are spending the night at a hotel there, and they will catch a plane early tomorrow morning bound for Mexico City. That will put them about three hours away from their final destination of Casacuaran in the state of Guanajuato. That is where Vereni's family lives.
Jake, Vereni, Sofia, and Nicolas will spend one month in Mexico. Vereni says that the days in December and January are "fiesta" times. Many of the men who have been working in "el Norte" return home this time of year, so, besides the celebrations of Christmas and New Year, many special events have been put off till now. Her sister, Alina, will be getting married on January 4th. Nicolas will be baptized that day also. There will be more weddings to attend; also the local fair and rodeo come to town. It sounds like they will have lots of fun. Vereni was incredibly excited to be with her family again, and to show off her beautiful kids.
