John and I had fun on Election Night – the Consulate hosted a watch party with young leaders of Guadalajara. It was a fun evening, as you can see! Uncle Sam and I took a lot of selfies with the party-goers, and John gave an abbreviated version of his speech on the electoral college. A good time was had by all!<\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday John and I drove to Chapala for their annual arts and crafts festival – it’s one of my favorites. I bought two lovely scarves, a fabulous tunic (from hand-spun cotton), and a poncho-type wrap, all from Oaxaca. It’s lovely work, and I loved getting to meet the ladies who made it all. Afterward, we had sandwiches at a friend’s food truck in Ajiji – the guy’s originally from Mississippi, so you know it’s going to be good! I had a fish poorboy and John had a pulled pork sandwich – delish!<\/span><\/p>\n

Last night we went to a new gaming cafe where John and David played a game that took about four hours. I entertained myself by taking a stack of magazines to flip through – it was fun to get out and the place was packed! A couple of other friends were at the next table, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n
