Thursday Nov 22 we celebrated Revolution Day here in La Manzanilla. All the school kids participated in a parade and ended up in the central square (jardín), where they did various dances ranging from waltzing to hip hop.
As part of my PTA duties I got up at 6:30 am that day and walked over to Lupita's restaurant and started making taco's with 3 other moms to sell at the festival. All the money raised from the sale of tacos went to the kinderschool.
Bottom line is I need to get a Spanish tutor! One of varieties of tacos we were assembling was a mixture of chorizo and potatoes. So, potato in Spanish is papa and daddy is Spanish is papá. Imagine the laugh the other mothers hand when I asked how much we sell the chorizo and papá (chorizo and daddy) tacos for.
Here are some pictures of the kids on parade.
WE'RE DONE HERE!

And that is why Spanish is such a pun language to learn -- espacially, its Mexican variety.
Oh my gosh - those kids could not be any cuter!
It was interesting that our school did not parade into town as usual due to safety concerns. They kept the fesivities in campus.
