In this picture are my uncles in the cabins that are on the top of the hill, enjoying the snow and the view. They only have visited in the Christmas season. Although these two could not go last year, every time we meet, my cousins still speak of their experience.

Here I am on December 31, in the square where every year in Miquihuana makes a party with different bands so that people can go have fun and spend a good time theirs families. Although this last year have been unable to do anything due to insecurity.

Once a year a small party at this church in honor of the saint San Juan Bautista is made. My family and I have assisted this celebration where gunpowder burns and dance for the miracles this saint has done. Although in the last year they have not been able to organize anything because of lack of money. It is not yet known whether this June 24 may do something to perform this beautiful celebration.

We have only been here one time my famillia and I, when we visited my grandmother for her birthday. It was a very nice experience. Although we could not get us water.

My next vacation

On my next trip I´m going to Jalisco to see the whole eity.
