After class today we all got on a bus and rode over to the big market in Queretaro. This was the first time for us to use public transportation so it was a new experience. Upon arriving the mercado, the students were told which grocery items they were to go buy. The found the queso ranchero, onions and cilantro without any problems. After that we had some time to walk up and down the aisles and see all of the typical items found at a Mexican market. I love those colorful nylon bags so much I bought ten of them - for only $14! I was so absorbed in all the surroundings that I forgot to take any pictures. Sorry about that!
Then we took a private minivan to Graciela's house. Graciela was our cooking instructor. Turns out that her husband, Vicente, did most of the cooking and the students did most of the prep for the guacamole. That was the best darn guacamole ever! They also made the cucumbers and limonada (limeade). Vicente prepared Enchiladas Queretanas, chicken, potatoes and carrots over the fire. Delicious! They also had a huge dog that was only 11 months old who barked at us.
We missed Spencer today because he was feeling a little under the weather but he has recharged his battery and rejoined the group.
