This past weekend was the big day for Josue’s brother Nery and his new bride Tania. They put on a great wedding on Saturday, a wedding designed for the ranch. Nery was sporting full Charro gear, and looking very handsome. After the ceremony the novios road away on horseback through town to the reception hall. Josue and I played photographers/guide through town. Josue driving Charlena, took a different route to cut off the horseback caravan and I jumped on the roof rack to take pictures of them as they road to their reception. Once at the hall, they had an evening full of surprises for each other and the guests planned and even a brincolin para los niños. A night of good food, good drinks, music & dancing. Felicidades a los novios Tania y Nery!
On Sunday was another after party gathering at Tia Vero’s house. I got to try Pepeto for the first time. It’s a pork & vegetable soup, you serve it up with lime & chiles manzanos and pan telera! It was very tasty. This day was a lot more relaxed and we got to spend time with cousins and nephews more. Last week we got the kids hooked on playing a card game called “golf”, this day Josue taught them how to play Uno. Josue’s cousin Gil, who is a fan of VW’s and currently owns a Combi, got under the hood with us and gave us some tips and showed us parts of the engine that typically have issues and what to check for and quick maintenance we can do to keep it running longer. It was really helpful. Just what we need more of. Later that evening the novios left to the city with a cousin, to fly out for their honeymoon (luna de miel).
And the rest of the night was spent just relaxing with the kids, Josue got us all going to collect firewood for a fogata (bonfire) and that’s how we all relaxed before bed.
Today, was a lay low kind of day. Josue is starting to get sick, he thinks it’s from a change of weather, but everybody else is telling him it’s from all the smoke from last night’s bonfire.
Later in the evening when we walked down the street to the church here in San Francisco, we found celebrations happening. It was for Dia de los Musicos y Santa Cecilia and after mass they had a banda group outside the church playing music. Jenna- this made us think of you because they had a tuba player and two trombones and two playing instruments that looked like yours but are smaller, not sure what it’s called. We took a few pictures then headed back up to the house. Had some tea with dinner and back outside to another fogata.
