And now for some scenery...
Here are a couple of shots from the front of the house. I apologize for the power lines and buildings, but such is life.



Here's another from the front of the house. This was an afternoon shot with some really cool clouds on the mountain.


About a month ago, Emily and I went to Chipinque, a local park on the mountain visible out our bedroom window. We got some nice pictures there. We're definitely going back now that our hiking boots arrived with our household goods. The top of the trail, if I read the signs right, are at about 2km altitude, so over a mile high, but we just went to the end of the paved portion.





You can see a portion of Monterrey from here, but it covers such an area that you'd need a whole series of shots to get it all. We were maybe 2-3,000 feet up.


Note that the three "peaks" in the shot above are the same ones we see from our bedroom. I think of them as three dull teeth.
