Today was our largest day with 55 clubbers, 10 of them new for the first time this week. The kids are really looking forward to coming and seeing our team and enjoying VBS. Many of the students took a trip to the local Texcoco market and did some shopping among the more authentic market (opposed to the more tourist type areas). The smells from the raw meat, pork rinds, and other various “authentic” foods permeated the scene. Mucho purses and trinkets ...
We also ate at one of the nicest authentic restaurants in Texcoco. Goat shoulder, raw meat (yes, no typo. Check with Sweet Cheeks to see how that one was!), tamarindo (nut juice), watermelon juice, horchata, Carne Asada and enchaladas were among the choices. We also visited a cathedral which was holding mass. In the front was a bed with Jesus in it, and every January first they lower the bed down for people to come and view it. A vivid reminder of the darkness that abounds down here.
