Hanging at Tia Meche's

We spent most of the day in Babispe with Tia Meche and her family...

The Best Mexican Beer

The store closest to Nana's house seemed to not carry any Mexican beer. Instead, they offered me Bud Light, complete with a "Made In U.S.A." stamp on it. Funny, down here I see a lot more Bud Light than Corona.

That's For Big Girls

Sarah, whenever she likes or wants to do something:

That's for big girls. Not for boys. For big gowols.

Tan!

Sarah has a word that she uses to say something is all done - tan-tan. It's a Spanish slang word of Mama's. Sarah actually cutely mispronounces it as "tom-tom".

So today Stephen was helpfully sharing some cucumber slices at Tia Meche's house and when the slices were gone, he declared ...

Stephen: Tan!

Papa: Ya se acabaron todos? (They're all gone?)

Stephen: Nods head, moves eyebrows to indicate "Yes".

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are enjoying Thanksgiving in Mexico this year. Mama cooked a big turkey in Nana's wood stove all day yesterday, but that's about as far as the traditional food goes this time. Our next big meal will be Christmas with Grandma & Grandpa.

Lights Out

Almost forgot, it's a regular occurrence in Bacerac for the electricity to unexpectedly go off for hours at a time. It happens to the water, too. They both were out today for several hours.
