I have two months before I return to Mexico, but I have already bought gifts to take down there for Alejandro and his family. I am not taking as many gifts as I have on some trips. I probably could fit them all in a carry-on, however I still have some more items to buy that are liquid which would not be allowed.
Here's what I have purchased so far. (I am not showing the presents for Alejandro since he looks at my blog from time to time.)
For Alejandro's dad, I bought an Ohio t-shirt. For his sister Sandra I got a Cleveland Guardians t-shirt. (Our major league baseball team, the Cleveland Indians, has changed their name to the Guardians.) I also ordered her another box of N-95 facemasks. (She works in a hospital and has to wear a mask every day.) For Alejandro's nephew Ezra, I found at Sam's Club a selection of three kid's t-shirts. I thought he might enjoy a book of Sudoku puzzles since math is his favorite subject. (I found a book that has instructions in Spanish as well as in English.)
It then dawned on me that Ezra's birthday will be in September after I have returned to Ohio.
So, yesterday I went to Target and got a couple things that Alejandro can give to him from me. I found a rather cool Batman t-shirt, and a Lego set based on the latest Jurassic Park movie.
One day this month or next, I want to take a drive down to the Cuyahoga Valley to a farm store that sells a variety of products that would not be easily found in Mexico. I'm going to buy a bottle of genuine Ohio maple syrup, a jar of horseradish, a jar of apple butter... and... who knows what else I might find?
