Our first guests from the US!

Matt and Dana made the trip down from Tucson last Saturday to stay with a couple of days. They brought with them all sorts of treasure, to include many many bottles of spectacular wine. We ate a lot of really good food (in excessive quantities), played some spades (we are still undefeated), smoked some great cigars, and drank some tasty wine. We hope they will return soon!

We met them at the toll booth as you enter Hermosillo which is about 25-30 minutes from our house. We got there about an hour early, but finally we saw them and I took this photo:

One of our favorite places to hang out is at the Game for dinner and drinks. The owner is a really nice guy and always takes care of us. I love that this place is only a couple blocks from our house. I never get tired of it!

We also had some good burros at a place near the house on Sunday. I cannot remember the name of the place, but it too was close to the house and had the best burros that I’ve had in a long time.

My absolute favorite place to eat in Hermosillo is Steaks del Herradero. The restaurant itself is nothing fancy, but I love their meat more than other place in the world. It’s a shame that Matt’s steak had too much salt because mine was perfect. Since Dana couldn’t finish her steak, I got much more than I had planned on! I could barely move by the time we got home. But nothing a fat cigar couldn’t fix.

Before they left, we went downtown to check out the main square and church. I had never actually been inside the church, so that was fun (for about 30 seconds). Here’s a quick video:

We then drove up a hill in the center of the city which provides a nice panoramic view. I hadn’t been up here in years. It was fun to be able to see everything now that I have a pretty good familiarity with things.

Next time Matt will really need to bring more cigars. This 1-2 per day nonsense was not working for me!   :p
