End of our Mexico City Trip

On our last full day in Mexico City, Iramita took us to a market where they sell crafts and pottery. It is lucky we don't have a house anymore or I would have bought so many things. I love the pottery and fabrics and there was one stand that had beautiful painted copper items.  I bought a holder for our heated tortillas (200 pesos/~$10 US) since it doesn't break or take up too much space in the RV.  I also bought a small beaded necklace with daisies which cost around a US dollar. The ladies were beading right there and making beautiful necklaces. 


For dinner, a group of us drove across town to a special pozole place. Al and his mom make a red pozole but this place served a white pozole which was delicious. We've eaten there before and we were not disappointed again. Al's Mom knew the owners of this place years and years ago.  I love that they bring you a bowl of pork and broth and then they bring fixins like lettuce, radish, avocado, lime, crushed oregano, and salsas to add what you like.  There are also tostadas and chicharones.  One of my favorite parts is a tostada with crema, avocado, and salt. Yum!

Back at Tia's house, the girls brought Al a present, plantains.  He was in the mood for some but didn't realize he was cooking them. 😳

Al enjoyed cooking with the "kids" and Iramita taught us how they like to eat them with crema and strawberry jam.

The next doctor in the family will be Denis when she graduates this winter.  We're so proud of you!

The next morning we had more people stop by before we left for the airport. It makes me laugh how many people come to the airport with us to send us off. I managed to not cry this time while saying goodbye to everyone although it was close. We love this family and always have so much fun with them that we hate to leave.
