!!!!!!!!!

Mumsy is here.

Yesterday we went to 1 big statue, 3 museums, 2 candy shops, 1 grocery store, 2 cafes, 2 restaurants, and 2 bars. My feet hurt, and I collapsed into bed at about 10pm. Expect pictures and more extensive commentary when there are more pictures, and time to make said extensive commentary.

However (and I have told mumsy this) the most important thing is that she tries as much different food as humanly possible in the 4 days she is visiting.

Yesterday the foods tried were:
  • Enchiladas mineras (cheese enchiladas with onion, carrot, and potato)
  • Pollo rostado (nothing unusual, just rotisserie chicken)
  • Flautas (unbreaded chicken tenders wrapped inside a fried tortilla)
  • Totopes con frijoles y queso (nacho chips with beans and cheese...the cheese is crumbly, like feta)
  • Cocoada (a stick of sticky coconut)
  • Media galletita (half a cookie...this one was a sandwich with butter cookie, raspberry jam, and lots of powdered sugar on top)
  • Rolla de guayaba (dried guava drenched in sugar)
  • Beso Negro (super concentrated hot dark chocolate, served in an espresso cup)
The day before yesterday, the foods tried were:
  • Tacos from a taquería
  • Coke in a glass bottle
