We've Been Here One Week (Una Semana!)

We've already been here one week... it feels like we just got here. Last night, we cooked dinner for everyone, and it wasn't the "Mary Tyler Moore party" I feared it would be! We had a nice time, talking and laughing until 10:30. We thought everyone had forgotten that we were cooking for them, but then remembered where we were... everyone showed up right on time (give or take an hour).

Today is Domingo, the day that people like to spend with their families. We got to meet Maria's other daughters and their families. They are all so sweet.

Garrett and I had a relaxing day-- just got back from eating cena (dinner) at a taqueria. Garrett had tacos with bacon, steak, mushrooms, onion, and queso; I had steak tacos with nopales (prickly pear cactus), pico de gallo and lime.

I'm not a food photographer, but here's a photo of the meal. The red drink is an agua fresca, called Jamaica, a hibiscus tea.

After dinner, we explored the plaza some more, and discovered the Alfredo's croissant shop! We had some of their croissants in Tlaquepaque on our visit in April and thought they were delicious. They have all different flavors like peach, strawberry and apple, but the best one is loaded with chocolate. We bought a few to take home for dessert.

I had already started to dig into this morsel of chocolate-y goodness, when I thought I should show you what I'm talking about. It's. So. Good.
