Aurora and Javier very kindly picked me up a week ago Sunday to take me to Tequisquiapan for my first week of intense spanish learning. But they had a great surprise for me: a little excursion to a small town on the way, where there was a fiesta, a "Feria in honor of San Antonio de Padua".
On the way they explained that many people had immigrated from this town to the U.S. and over the years had sent back money to their families there. With this money some families had built houses in the style of U.S. houses -- they looked like houses you would find in Arizona, New Mexico or California.
Hopefully later, we will be able to go back and talk with some of these families about their relatives who are in the U.S.
It was a great day and following are pictures of the barbacoa, pulque made from maguey, the major crop, the church, etc.
