Monday 30th October 2017...a day trip!!!

I drove Gracie and two of her friends to the small town of Santa Rosa about 90 minutes away from here some scenes along the way....

 It was a beautiful drive through the mountains...
 The town itself...
 The main reason for coming here was to buy mescal!!!!!..Jane knows of a house in the country where there is a still, boot leg type operation and you bring empty wine bottles pass them over the fence and they come back in a couple of minutes with your bottles filled with what I am told is really good quality mescal...only in Mexico!!!

We stopped in town for a very nice lunch then on the way back stopped in the bigger town of Delores Hildalgo which is know for it's pottery and we went into this huge factory where the theme was Catrina items...just amazing pottery....

 To think that every piece had to be hand painted by these folks...

 No blog complete with out animal photos....

It was a great day out!!!

Tonight I had 3 students in class and we talked all about Halloween and the traditions, a great class!!!

Yashi Kochi!!!!
