Fiestas of All Sorts

We have been in Mexico for 10 months now. Price, Nanne and I have never left Mexican soil (we have been working for 5 months to get our immigration status figured out, sigh). Something about the weather makes it feel like one long summer vacation. For me at least, Nanne and Price would probably not agree. But I think we all agree that this is a country that enjoys a good fiesta! In the last few months we have attended a huge variety of parties: lots of first communions, birthday parties, parties for mom, for parents, for kids, for students, for teachers, for tennis, for baseball. . . the list goes on!

Jos and I have also hosted many friends for some of Mexico's best bebidas!

Here's Jos and a Michelada:

And here's a monument to our love of tequila:

Family Day at the kids' school was cause for a festival. Here's Price as the father in an aristocratic family from the time of Mexico's Revolution (1910), and Nanne as a modern day mom.

One of my favorite type of events has been going to First Communions. This is the age for this rite of passage, and we've experienced quite a few. The mass is usually fairly brief, but the parties last for hours! This past Saturday we went to one at 10am and didn't get home until 5pm. It is a truly delicious pace of life.
