In case you missed the news about the rebellion/coup attempt in Ecuador today, here's an article from the New York Times: Standoff in Ecuador Ends With Leader’s Rescue, by Simon Romero
El otro día estaba viendo el Programa de "Akira's Late Night" y pusieron este Anuncio CHINO en donde anunciaban unos TOTOPOS (Nachos) Mexicanos de una Manera MUY Peculiar:
¿A póco NO SE TE PEGO el Tonito? jejeje,
Me gustaría saber que DICE el Chinito, chale, ¿Algún traductor??
No solo en Las Vegas hacen Cosas Raras.
Saludos.

Newest fruit obsession: guava.
I had tasted guava juice or guava-flavored things previously, but had never eaten a guava until I came here.
Once they're peeled, they're harder on the outside and softer on the inside, with seeds -- kind of strange, but tasty!
Did you know (at least according to wikipedia):
Guavas are often included among superfruits, being rich in dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, folic acid, and the dietary minerals, potassium, copper and manganese. Having a generally broad, low-calorie profile of essential nutrients, a single common guava (P. guajava) fruit contains about four times the amount of vitamin C as an orange.

Sunday the 26th marked 2 months of living in Mexico! I didn't realize until today, so I can't really say I did anything to "celebrate" -- but I did go see a Mexican play with friends!
 |
| When we went to buy tickets on Saturday, an acquaintance who helped with costumes gave us a tour and we got to go onstage! |
 |
| Onstage at the Julio Castillo theater |

| This is the first group that serenaded us -- before a group started playing right next to them and we couldn't hear anything! |
