Our Colombian friend, Silvia Rondon, is currently studying for her master`s degree in Norfolk, Virginia and she came to spend the Christmas and New Year holidays with us here in Mexico. Unfortunately she had a hard time getting here due to problems with her visa and a one-day trip turned into a 5-day ordeal...she didn`t make it for Christmas but in true Colombian form she refused to give-up without a fight and finally, on Dec. 27th she made it!!! God truely was with her and did many miracles along the way to make it all possible!
Silvia finally makes it to Mexico...arriving to Jorge`s cousin`s house just outside of Mexico City.
Jorge`s cousin, Socorro; nieces, Galia and Cyndia; Silvia; nephew, Alejandro; Karen; and niece, Liliana... a few from the welcoming committee.
The first place we took Silvia was to the market...it`s a Mexican experience that you can`t miss! Here she is with Jorge and his dad at the meat section...
Fruits and veggies with Karen...
Eating ¨Gorditas¨in the restaurant section...
Silvia`s wanted the ¨real¨mexican food...not the tex-mex stuff...
And finally the piñata stand!
Buying tamales, buñuelos and atole for an evening snack!
