Madre

Yesterday was Mother's day here in Mexico. We went to Mical's ranch to eat dinner and watch the fiesta. Jerry marinated some chicken and some steak. The chicken was amazing! Everything was bbq'ed with real wood and charcoal. I think they cut down the wood from the backyard. You can totally taste the difference.

Mical's mom also requested boba milk tea from Jerry so he made 5 gallons of milk tea. Everyone loves Jerry's boba milk tea here. I think we were the only family in Mexico drinking boba milk tea on the Dia de Las Madres. it was all gone real quick too.

The fiesta was awesome. There were a lot of performances from the children of the Cargadero ranch. Sunni and Rodrigo (Mical's siblings performed some dancing. It was a fun day. I really love spending time at the ranch. It is so relaxing and so homely. You cannot beat that feeling.

Yesterday, I saw one of the most odd things I have ever seen. I went outside of the office to catch some light and to stretch and all of a sudden I saw many goats, sheep, dogs, and cows just strolling along down the street. I ran and grabbed my camera and got a couple of shots.

Tonight we are celebrating Mother's Day at the Ermita church. I also made some business cards today for the office.
