Tuesday afternoon. Today, something happened which helped me to appreciate the importance of some of the many milestones in my life. At about 2-3pm, the people of Mexico traditionally have an early dinner together to talk and socialize as a family. I really cannot stress how important the idea of a tightly woven family is to these people. Today, we were all gathered about the tale discussing various elements of culture and food that differed between our countries and out of the blue they asked me if I was busy Sunday and if I would like to go with the family to a colonial cemetery to check it out. Of course I agreed, it is an honor to be included in a family outing.
The second thing that happened at lunch occurred during our discussion of foods and different vegetables and what they are called in both languages. They had known I like to cook and asked if I would like to cook for them a week from Sunday. Once again, I was honored and I look forward to sharing that with them.
Truly a good day.
