holiday update

Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S., but there´s plenty of celebration here, as it´s the anniversary of the Mexican Revolution and Anne´s birthday. Tonight I am going to attempt to make her a cake out of a stack of fried tortillas, carmelized sugar, and sweetened condensed milk. Yesterday, when I left the grocery store, there was a giant parade of children dancing and doing acrobatics for the day of the Mexican Revolution. I put down my groceries and watched for a bit.

We wil be heading to Veracruz on November 25, to work with Finca Tres Mundos for about ten days. That farm does cob building and makes yogurt, marmalade, and chocolate. Should be another huge adventure.
