Christmas Break--
San Felipe, Mexico

Dear friends,
For Christmas break, Stanley accompanied me, my husband and some friends and family to San Felipe, Mexico. As you may know, Mexico borders the US on the southern border. In Mexico they speak Spanish. Here is the Mexican flag:

The money used in Mexico is called pesos. Here are some pictures of pesos.

Here is a map of the location of San Felipe. It is located in Baja California (It is the name of the state. Kind of like how you live in Delaware.) right on the Bay of California, which is known as the Sea of Cortez in Mexico.

It was quite a long drive from Santa Barbara to San Felipe. It took all day. It was a neat drive though. There was a really neat desert and a lot of mountains. Here are some pictures from the drive. As you can tell from the pictures, life in Mexico is much different than life in the US.

We had a great time in San Felipe. Our condo was right on the beach. We went swimming. Here is a picture of the beach from our condo.

We went out to eat. It is really cheap in Mexico. Our lunch for five people cost only $20, and we had a lot of food. Here is a picture of us at our favorite restaurant.

We also went shopping a lot. Here are pictures of some of the shops.

Here are some other pictures from our time in Mexico:

Well, I hope that you like these adventures.

Adios!

Amanda
