I’m back from Miami.

I’m tired.

Traveling with a toddler, even one that was exceptionally “good”, is exhausting. Re-instituting a schedule for said toddler, once home, is trying, tedious, and terribly tough.  

Normally on Mondays I bring you, “I Comment Therefore I Am”, but I didn’t do much commenting last week. Fortunately, I still was. I did not cease to exist even though I was  not commenting. I was a little scared that if I stopped commenting I might evaporate and all that would be left of my online self would be an empty paper bag. “I Comment Therefore I Am” will be back next week.

Today, I will share a few more pictures I took during our trip.

    Glad to see you made it back. I sometimes have difficulty getting a regularly scheduled post together, and I sometimes feel like I let my fans down if I miss a week. But considering you were away, I think people will forgive you.

    Oh, the memories you just brought back for me. I was lucky enough to be only 10 feet away from Celia Cruz when she played an outdoor concert here 30 years ago. I was so young, and that woman could move better than I could ever move in my youth.

    She exuded so much sexiness without being vulgar or crass.

    It was the show of a lifetime…
    Glad to have you back!

    P.S. Is it a bit sad and freakish that I have a new goal to be a part of you “I comment…” feature? Tee hee hee! 🙂

    Your photos, both today's and yesterday's, are muy grande. It looks like Put-Pie was on the go go go, doing and learning new things. It's no wonder Mami and Papi are pooped.

    The mosaic tiles are so wonderfully colorful, and I know Mexico City is filled with them.

    One question out of curiosity: Are the cigars made in Cuba?

    good to know your trip went well.
    I just wondering – does Put Pie ever give you and her dad any good comments? It would be fun to hear some good ones and if she thinks like her mom – well what can I say.

    I know your trip was so much more fun because your husband and daughter went to Miami with you. You got some nice photos while you were there and I bet you have more to share with us. It is a good tired when you get home from a fun and full trip. I so like the last photo at the airport window.

    Beautiful pictures. Hope you all had a fabulous time! Good luck on getting the little one back on schedule. I remember last year after a week in Los Altos it took us a little while to get our toddler back on track…but I definitely didn't mind waking up later in the morning East Coast time when we came back. 🙂

    I'm tired too. Last night there was a party below us. Couldn't sleep in our bedroom, finally we moved our pillows on living room sofa at 4 am…First thing we heard in the morning was a dog barking at 7:30 – the same which barked yesterday almost all day long with 6-8 other dogs…Yesterday was very stressful…
