Saturday I went with a friend to Cuernavaca (about an hour and 15 minutes outside of the DF -- if there's no traffic) to celebrate Thanksgiving with a friend from Elon.
We spent some time wandering around downtown and at a craft market.

We also visited the Robert Brady house/museum. Brady was from the US and studied the fine arts. He traveled the world, collecting artwork which he then displayed throughout his house.

From there, we met up with Cindy (who I know from Elon) and made a trip to Costco for Thanksgiving dinner. We had rotisserie chicken, salad, fresh rolls and -- the best part -- pumpkin pie!
