A photographical treat

I was thinking about making this a big long post with lots of photos and stories, but then I decided I just couldn't choose a handful of photos and leave all the other ones out. Also, my internet is being real slow. So here's another photo:

We had just come back from hiking up the mountain in Tepotzlán and had set off looking for some pulque, an alcohol older and more traditional in Mexico than tequila. That was a bad idea, but that's a story for another time. During our quest we found a touristy little shop that sold, among other things, about 857 different flavors of creamy alcohol, of which they were only too happy to bring us unsolicited free samples as long as we stood around pretending to consider buying things. Eventually they brought out these fancy goblets fashioned from a ram's horn, as you can see in the picture. We thought about waiting around to see if they'd bring us a cloak and sword, but as our wise BCA director Rob said, "We should leave before we get drunk and start buying shit."
