Abby & Kris in Indiana: Mexico 2008- Part 1

On our first day in Chihuahua, one of my parent's friends, Raul and Laura, invited us to one of their ranches. Many people in Mexico have ranches that typically consist of a few hectors and, what Americans would refer to as, a shack... it is nice to have a stone fence, muchless running water. It is simply a place outside of the city for most people that is not much more than a typical American back yard. Raul and Laura are not like most... Raul owns a sawmill type business that supplies lumber to the factory. They have several sizable ranches... to the tune of thousand of hectors. While Raul owns quite a business, his true love is ranching. Raul Sr. was not able to join us this particular day, but Laura and her two sons along with friends and ranch hands, gave us quite a wonderful day. Their two sons have also taken an interest in ranching... Raul Jr. is raising "porkies" and Alex prefers the cows and horses. They bar-b-que'd a small "porky" for us, showed us the rest of the porkies and took us horse back riding. It was a wonderful hanging out with Raul & Alex's friends... drank a lot of Tacate loved their company! They definitely know how to entertain! Hell, the guys even took Kris and Brad out to a local bar in Chihuahua... they must have had a hell of a time... Brad passed out on the front door step and Kris... well, he decided to climb a 15 foot cement wall to enter the house. The doors were unlocked of course...
