nós de bina 
This is John and Gail. We are Tim Raphael’s aunt and uncle, and met you in Portland. I have enjoyed following your trip on Nos de Bina. We have some good friends who are staying 3 weeks north of Ixtapa. I see you are now in Guanajuato, or close.
Are you headed back to the coast, or headed inland to Mexico City? If Ixtapa is on your itinerary, let us know, and we can try to make contact. Marge and Gerry are our close friends, and I know they would love to meet you, and learn about your adventures. They rented a large house there.
Love, John and Gail
Hi John and Gail,
Thank you for following our adventures, hope everything is fine with you! We are planning on going to Mexico City, so we will not get to meet your friends. We would love too tough, maybe next time.
Love Sara and Pedro
