Mujeres en Cambio is a local non-profit that provides scholarships for women in a small community in the campo outside of San Miguel. It was their anniversary (can't remember how long they've been doing this) and they hosted a luncheon cooked by the women of the community. It began with boarding a tin-can of a bus, which didn't bother me, but unfortunately 30 women in a tin-can produced an intolerable cacophony. It was not helped by the heavily scented air freshener that saturated the already heady environment! Thought I was gonna die!
Phew! Fresh air, the sound of rustling mesquite in the breeze.

The talented and beautiful cooks
Hands down the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. And I've eaten lots.
My plate included: a chicken tamale, a cheese chile relleno, a cheese taco,
mole, pork in red chile, nopalitos, rice, stewed chicken, quacamole, and a fried mashed potato patty (under all the rest)
They had chocolate and carrot cake for dessert.
No dinner for me last night, needless to say.
Yum!
