My sister, Elaine (on left) has been here visiting for several days. She first traveled to Monterrey, Mexico to attend a conference celebrating 65 years of CEF in Mexico, then came here to see me for 10 days. And two friends from Yucatan have been here, Isolina Cab and her aunt Raymunda Cab. What fun! Here you see them enjoying Tepoznieves (sherbet) in Tequisquiapan.
We all traveled to Mexico City for two days of excitement! Here the soldiers are lowering the flag at 6 PM in front of the national palace. It was raining and yes, we were soaked, but it was SO INTERESTING, we hardly noticed!
Then, to the Bellas Artes Theatre to enjoy the Folkloric Ballet. We didn't take pictures during the performance, but enjoyed seeing this incredibly beautiful "glass curtain" depicting the two volcanoes Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl being raised. I highly recommend the Ballet - I've seen it many, many times and never tire of it!
Here are my guests and "nephew" Felix. Left to right: Felix, Isolina, Raymunda and Elaine
Carmen, our Mexican sister, hosted us for the two nights. She came to live with us when I was 5 years old and she was 10, our folks put her through school and of course she became, and still is, our beloved Mexican sister. She's a retired nurse, but still uses her nursing skills to help and is a "hostess with the mostest." She served us her famous "mole (moulay) poblano and we almost licked our plates, it was so delicious!
