Update: Fiesta


1. On Sundays at noon, there is a mariachi band and chicken on the grill on the parking lot... We gotta get up early one of these days;
2. Our Fiesta is unsafe once it's dark. Maybe that explains the police we saw in the parking lot the other day, or that car with the doors suspiciously left open...or that were opened? boh.
3. People eat the fruit, as in, standing there eating a plum while looking at the plums. Then leaving.
3. Have you ever tried a lychee nut? It's small, reddish, and looks kind of spiky. It is weird, sweet, and kind of like eating an eye-ball.
4. I bought a piece of cactus. It's called nopal. I don't know what I'm going to do with it. Suggestions are welcome.
