Hi friends! On our way to visit friends we stopped to get something to eat. Not at McDonalds or Burgerking like you might if you were traveling in the states. No, we look for the best roasted chicken place we can find. This place was sooo good and I thought is looked so good, I had to take a picture for all of you to see! Doesn't it look good? Roasted chicken, in Mexico is far better than any chicken we have ever eaten in the US!
We have had a nice time being out of the village. It is definitely a different world once you leave our area. I guess it is like that in the states too, every state is different. The people in our area seem a lot more humble, maybe a lot poorer too. The people in the place we are staying in now are just plain old snobby. They are rich and have nice cars and nice things and are just well off in just about every area. Not all of them of course, but the majority. However, with all of this wealth comes some of the things we miss from the states. Like a mall. We visited a mall the other day and Annie saw Santa for the first time this year. She was so excited. Okay, now we have explained all about Santa. Or.... so we thought. But, for some reason in her little seven year old mind she really wants to believe. She talked to him, told him she wanted a bike, and then asked me why he couldn't speak English. She said, "I thought Santa could speak every language." Then she asked me who would bring her the bike, Santa or Greg and I. So, I have no idea what is going on in her head, but she is confused!
About this picture, I thought this was something I had to tell you. I asked them if they minded if I took my own photo. Of course not they said. The lady jumped up turned on her tiny little camera on a tripod and said, "I will take one too." I thought to myself, okay, whatever. So after we were done the lady says, " That will be 50 pesos. Which is about $4.50. I said, " For what?" She said," For the photo I took." She said, you can take your own photo, but then you have to buy our photo. Well dumby, she didn't tell me that ahead of time. So hers was all printed out and she said, "Thank you!" I felt suckered! Know why? I was!! Oh to live in another country, never a dull moment! Love you all! Missy
