Getting together in Amealco

Last Saturday a bunch of us were invited to a TAQUIZA in Amealco (about 30 minutes from San Juan) at Oscar and Fernanda's little "home in the country." What a delightful afternoon and evening we spent with them! They told us NOT to bring anything, but I took ginger snaps and milk! They didn't need them for the feast, as they'd already bought some pound cakes, so they ate them the next morning for breakfast with their milk!

We decided we needed to do this more often!

Fernanda's mom manned the fires. She's so shy, she wouldn't come into the house to visit, even after the clean-up. We didn't realize she was sitting out in the tiny (no, teeny!) yard all by herself, or we would have insisted she come in to visit! Next time....

Buen provecho! That little space IS the backyard! Not much room,
but I didn't hear anyone complaining!

Oscar and Fer have an artist friend - we loved this wall! Couldn't quite decide what it was, but it was a great conversation piece!

Food was delicious! Thin steaks (carne asada), onions, chorizo, beans, potatoes, lots of tortillas, and the green salsa was to die for! It was gone almost instantly!

The kids found a fun game. The bedroom was very tiny. The bars you see are for an exercise machine.

Our hostess Fer(Pronounced "Fair", but be sure and roll that r!), Grace and Ivonne

Awful cute little girls: Laura, Vanessa and Danna

Tina and Linda. Linda's husband isn't a Christian, but he came along! He really enjoyed talking with the guys.

Check out that wall behind Mary and me!

The guys had a chat session out on the sidewalk.

The houses here are so tiny. There just isn't room for everyone inside! But that's no problem, just go outside - after all, it's beautiful weather. Lots of room outside!
