Sabado Saturday


Nevin, the snoot, and I woke up and headed out to get juice and let the mama sleep.  We found a flower market and bought mama a rose. She still was laying around with curlers in her hair when we got back!!!! For breakfast we found a cool hip coffee shop in a nice neighborhood.  Nevin finally got bacon.

As per usual we saved the last day to get shopping done, so went to Tonala, a huge market town.   We rushed around buying plates and souvenirs for people.  We finally tried the famous torta ahogada, a sandwich stuffed with marinated pork and onions smothered in tomato sauce.  After a frenzied shopping spree we piled into the car for  2.5 hr drive back to Leon.  After almost running out of gas and another adventure trying to use my card and jesicas to no avail.  We made it back to Leon to drop off the rental car at 9:00.  The 10km cab ride back to the hotel was $30!!!  With no restaurants in walking distance for our last Mexican meal, we settled for the Applebee's attached to the hotel, where they were having a wedding reception.
