fiestas and such

well, I am back from Chiapas and it was a great trip. Before I left I went with the students to the Mambo Cafe on Wednesday night and that was so ridiculous. First of all, the live band was outstanding and who says you do not need an 11 piece band? all men in tight jeans, and very lively.

another celebration was the annual pinata (sorry I cannot find the apostrophe nor a tilde on this keyboard) for those who have the birthdays in the summer...and of course that includes ME ME ME ME! I got to hit at Batman and there are several photos of course which you can see later. I did break it and got some candy. all of the birthday people got presents including a Mexican wrestling mask and boy am I lucky!

also I got to try a michelada which is like a bloody Mary but with beer instead of vodka. It sounded not good, but Rick let me try his and it was very good. Once Kara can drink again, I foresee her liking these!

I also got some ceviche de camaron in Palenque at a little cafe, very good.
