Aunt Kathy's Bag Goes to Mexico

I have recently graduated from Portland State this last December and at 25, have finally decided to have an adventure in another country. I have simplified my possessions to what is important and what fits in my car. On this trip I will visit my sister for a short period and will then head off to an ashram outside of Mexico City. I will be farming each day to pay for my room and board. My only companion is my aunt Kathy's turquoise bag. This is our adventure.

Taco de Trompo


3 words: taco de trompo. I have just experience my first bacon taco (to be honest I had 5 of my own, and one of Tara's) ! After a round of freshly fried tortilla chips, a variety of house salsa and onions, outcome mouth watering bacon tacos. A quick meal that can promise weight gain results in a matter of days, perhaps hours. It is unfortunate that I have been introduced to this fine meal, as I am off to a place that doesn't allow meat products, sugar, or processed food which no doubt excludes the majority of mexican street food. Oh what to do.

It has been so cold here since my arrival that Landon and Tara have finally resorted to using a heater. Yes ladies and gentlemen, it is so cold in the house that even after long johns and other second or third layers, my frugal friend Landon has put on the heat. It was an adventure last night as I left the warm bedroom and into the laundry room where my bed is located. I slept with 2 blankets and a sleeping bag, double layers and of course, my kooka. Landon was so sweet as he tried to tell me that he WANTED to sleep on the couch so I should go join my sister in the heated room. I was not convinced and in all actuality, I had one of the best nights sleep in a long time. So January 11th, what are we going to do today? I can always start by listening to covers of Man in the Mirror, drink coffee and freeze. (photo of Tara buddled up reading)
