Mi Casa
Karl came to visit! We went out on the South jetties of the island to scout out some sea turtles swimming in the wild and we saw some!
More turtle - Merry Christmas is her name...
The Christmas Parade at South Padre Island - a cute gymnastics crew able to be in only leotards in December.
Hidalgo Light Festival - Javier tricked me so we randomly showed up at this awesome light festival! I love the hippo and Mr. and Mrs. Claus (who may have been drunk).
House at the end of my street - Must be winter Texans
Another Javier trip - Tricked me into going to the Rio Grande River cause I would never go any other way - Needless to say, I didn't die that day
I'm officially Allison's Lifeguard
Iza's Posada - A Posada is a Mexican tradition that is performed for the 9 days before Christmas - Family and friends go to a different persons house every night and sings a series of songs (in very monotonous tones) that mimic what Joseph and Mary went through the night they were trying to find shelter (i.e. "Can we come in?" "No, we're sleeping, go away." "But we're carrying the baby Jesus." "Well why didn't you say so? Come on in!" all in Spanish). So I was invited and got to experience everyone singing and speaking in Spanish and it was quite an experience. Here is my picture log of the event.
Pozole - A traditional soup
Tostadas - Yum!
Chocoflan - Even yummier!
Christmas in San Antonio with Joe - The Riverwalk will never be the same
Sorry about the long wait - I will try to not be so negligent next time!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - 13 days late!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to You! Looks like a good time. Bet you can't wait to show Dad around. We'll be waiting for those pics.
ReplyDeleteThanks Connie! You're my most loyal blog checker. Everyone else has given up faith in me to post anything new! I promise when I get somewhere that is actually interesting, I'll be better at posting more often again. I'm definitely excited for dad to come down and visit. T-minus 5 days!
