Mexico’s Independence Day is September 15th and I went to a mountain hiking/picnic area called "La Rumorosa" with my church group. We hiked, played games, and had lunch. The drive there was on a windy mountain road and there were several places where you could see piles of cars crashed over the side of the road. I was told that people sometimes push their cars over intentionally to collect insurance money.
It's much drier here than in Virginia and this is about the greenest it gets. I do miss the trees and grass from the east, but I have learned to appreciate the beauty of the desert. I really love the gigantic boulders and the bright blue sky, but I still miss the rain and green grass and trees of Virginia.
One of the funniest things we did was an eating contest. Three teenage boys participated. They had to eat a banana, an apple, a package of donuts, a whole chili pepper, and a drink. They were very impressive and fun to watch, especially when it came time to eat the chili.
