Elias flew with Papa to Veracruz, Mexico like a pro. For a 4-year-old, he pretty much is a pro, having flown to 3 foreign countries already! Check out this face...
At the Parque de los Berros there was a HUGE slide that he conquered immediately, with a big grin on his face. There were also motorized cars you could ride, derby-style all through the park!
There was an Interactive Children's Museum where Elias explored all kinds of hands-on exhibits and a Transportation Museum where he climbed all over every type of machine possible. He also enjoyed our excursions to the little towns outside of Xalapa. He ran around with the kids, petted animals, rode horses, explored, and took pictures. He quickly began to realize that if he speaks to folks in English, they're not always going to understand you...hmmmm...
Elias was a real trooper, rarely complaining even when Mommy had to do work stuff. On the way home there were some memorable moments. One: the pilot invited him to come into the cockpit and take pictures with him. Two: He fell head over heels with a 20-year-old student named Liz and followed her around everywhere. Lastly, as we're getting off the plane, he says "I miss Mexico...but you know what I REALLY miss? I miss Bella..."
