My Mexican Thanksgiving

Happy Belated Thanksgiving, Everyone!!!  I wish I could've spend the holiday with you all!  

Of course, Thanksgiving is a U.S. holiday, so there was no "typical" way to celebrate it here.  So, Sara & I devised our own special celebration.  We took surfing lessons in the afternoon, and then we bought stuff to make smores!  It was delicious!

Ingredients: "Pan Crema" crackers (since Graham crackers can't be found in Southern Mexico...they're actually more salty than sweet, but it still worked), Vanilla & Strawberry marshmallows, and Swiss chocolate!

P.S. Since trying Swiss chocolate, I don't think I can ever go back to Hershey's...Sara has ruined me. 

We had to get creative with heating them up...the microwave worked wonderfully.

The Final Product!

Last Friday was our last official day of Spanish classes.  Our professor decided that our final exam would be going for beers, chips, & salsa at a local restaurant where we weren't allowed to speak any English.

What better way to start off the weekend in Mexico than with Chinese food?
There are 6 people in this picture representing 6 different countries.

Last Saturday was the Pez Vela contest.  Adoquin was quite crowded.



I don't know who the guy is in the picture, but I thought it helped to provide a reference to see how big the fish were!
