Finally, it was time to head home to California but not before one final early morning walk about Texcoco before boarding the 8:00 a.m. shuttle to Mexico City's Benito Juarez International Airport . . .
City Hall was all spruced up for
the Christmas Holidays

Virgin of Guadalupe

The FirstInn's wall ad about
our home the past week
The morning constitutional out of the way, it was time to say adios to more teammates and fellow coaches as nine of us boarded the shuttle for the hour ride to the airport.
Due to the shuttle times, I was
about four and a half hours early
Breakfast and coffee helped fill in the time.
We did indeed take off on time
It was a smooth flight and it was
good to be home
As always, it was straight to Cronies
after flying into LAX
This U19 Europe Warriors experience made it 11 EuroBall coaching experiences (Italy 2008 & 2009, Sweden 2010, 2016 & 2017, Switzerland 2012, France 2012-13, Spain 2015 & 2016 and Europe Warriors twice in 2017).
It will become an even dozen when I head back to Italy to coach the mighty Varese Skorpions in 2018.
Now for some last random photos from this past week, thanks to Sue Valdivia for all of these shots.
