...And we´re back

The long weekend brought some respite and I was able to spend time with some really wonderful people. Saturday night I went to a Full Moon Party here in Valladolid. Then on Sunday, I went to Yokdzonot to the ecohotel run by my friends, Erica and Jorge. Check out their beautiful website!

I had a really nice visit with them and their two dogs, Luke and Lea. They had several guests staying there this weekend and everyone was super nice. We had some rainy weather Sunday afternoon, but on Monday the sun decided to shine on us and we just relaxed under the palapa the whole day.
Now it´s back to work, and I´m having my two Gastronomy classes do their first oral presentations in class this week. They have made Powerpoint presentations and, so far, they have been doing well. Today I learned that March 31 is National Taco Day in Mexico, that lemon juice can be used to heal wounds as well as for Lemon Meringue Pie, and that in Mayan culture, water is the symbol of the spirit.
February has begun and I won´t have another long weekend until mid-March, but right now I´m focused on resolving my living situation, and once I do, I´m sure staying close to home will feel kinda nice!
