Sunday Funday

The city is so cool we have decided to move here!!!  Andrew and Jesica have spent most of our money eating weird food like tacos al vapor (steamed tacos) chilaquiles (fried tortillas with chicken and salsa), enchiladas mineras (miners enchiladas) and pollo con mole (chicken in chocolate sauce).  We spend most of our time following mama around as she shops for gifts and boring stuff.

Andrew was getting a cold before we left and he felt like poop so we had to cut the adventure short to come home and rest in the afternoon.  That night we walked to the La Presa, a reservoir above the city for dinner.  We all agree that Mexicans really enjoy spending time together with their families in the plazas.  we watched paddle boats and musicians play while old people danced.  Nevin found a rock dealer and bargained for a huge chunk of obsidian.  Success!!!

Observations: Mexicans love Nevins blonde hair; he has been asked to take pictures with little girls and young girls chasing after him trying to touch it.  He's a celebrity.  But he might not make it til the end of the week bc he has only eaten cheese quesadillas, waffles, peanut butter sandwiches and water. 

We kept hearing a loud whistle which scared little snoot baby.  turns out that it was coming from these portable wood-fired, tin stoves that steam plantains and sweet potatoes when the vendors pull a plunger the steam is released and it alerts customers of their presence.  Of course we had to try it.
