Breakfast for Twelve50 viewsWe camped in back of a Pemex station and this family of 8 (parents and 6 kids) in an RV pulled up to do the same. All the kids had a great time playing together and Anna & Helmut invited us to a hearty breakfast of cornmeal, fruit, yogurt, and toast. It certainly beat our usual breakfast of beans and eggs! They were on their way to Belize to spend a couple of months. They gave us their address and if we have enough time we'll visit them.Feb 20, 2009
