This is the word for "party". We were included in two separate celebrations this week...a retirement party and a baby shower. The teacher, Amparo had 30 years teaching and with the new policy from the government she decided to leave now...so that she wouldn't lose any benefits. The celebration was similar to many of ours and as always tears flowed when she was asked to make a speech. She will be dearly missed.
Next, we went to a baby shower for Lulu. Another teacher who will be leaving in a couple of weeks. She brought her other son Emilio, a real sweetie, who laughed when I showed him his picture on my camera! Christina was a beautiful and gracious hostess, a teacher who had left the Poly and is teaching at a school near her home in Bosque de Aragon. We ate pozole, broke a piñata and played lotería (bingo) in Spanish.
Lesson I experienced this week-end....the Mexican people love love love to celebrate life at any occasion and love being together and just chatting. ..i.e. the baby shower went on for 8 hours!
