Delicious Food

Thank god that even though I am far away from the AMAZING cook Rosalia, I can still AMAZING food. My host mom is a pretty good cook. AND right now there are tons of festivals and stuff, which means STREET FOOD (minus the chorizos aka sausages. ug.) Sunday night was the Festival of the Virgen of Roses (does anyone know if this is the SAME virgen that gave birth to like, Jesus?) and I ate SO many good things-

pupusas! (cheese and tortillas together again)

sugar donut things! (imagine donuts- covered in about 2centimeters of pure crystalized sugar)

ponche! (delicious creamy milk and sugar and cinnamon and spices and rum)

and then there was a fireworkd sculpture and the HALO OF THE VIRGEN FLEW IN THE SKY AND EXPLODED! It was the coolest thing I have every seen.

And tonight there is a the night before Day of the Dead/ All Saints Day and there is HELLA food stands outside the cementary, too.

awesome.
