Mexican fiesta

We arose and raced to Mexico for “tourist appreciation day”. The town of Nuevo Progreso (Las Flores) blocks the street, pins every kind of memento on the visitors, serves free tamales and margaritas and has much entertainment. We went to pick up a vase we ordered for my sister-in-law. We also wanted to make another liquor run, which we did. We also got some Lubriderm for Emily. As a shock to me, Evelyn asked to eat something at the panaderia. We shared 3 Mexican pastry and returned to the spray painter. Unfortunately the vase wasn’t ready as promised. More unfortunately we ran across some free tamales and beer. I had never known them to give away beer. They part with liquor quite freely. The margaritas are pretty stout. Finally he finished and we left for home. We came home and Evelyn fixed herself some lunch. I was still full of tamales. They were delicious. We stayed home until 4 when we separated and went to see some Christian videos. Mine was an account of the trip our friends took to Israel last year. It was a series of their still pictures put together by their son, narrated by them. It makes one want to go, if it weren’t for the Hamas rulers of Palestine. We had some delicious poblano peppers for dinner. She baked them in a lemon sauce and eggs. The meal is a bear to prepare because the peppers have to be pealed. She works hard for us. I went to return some hydraulic fluid and get another heavy duty six pack for carrying the booze we have. I wanted to buy something else but had forgotten to take any money. The temperature has come down more than 25 degrees since we were in Mexico earlier. Tomorrow is to be the premier day of the week. We have another big day planned before a lighter one but not until Friday.
