Today we trekked South to Elias Calles to learn how to make tamales with Filomena, Jesus and Sofia. We spent the entire day in the sweltering heat, surrounded by flies, sweating, singing along to Creedance Clearwater Revival and laughing at our lack of communication skills.
The tamales were steamed, the fresh mango margaritas were blended, the table was set and dinner was served! Awesome. This day was even better than the previous, which seems impossible.
After devouring the tamales, we decided it was time to show our new family how we work off our tamales and maintain our legs of rock (piernas de piedras) with which certain people seem so enamored. Sofia, who is 9 years old, took to it immediately. Her older brother, Jesus also had no problem learning the ropes.
We finished the day off by swimming in the 80 degree Pacific Ocean in front of Los Cerritos Beach Club under the setting sun/rising moon & stars. It was muy romantico and a great way to end the perfect day and begin a very long night. . .
