NFL Playoffs
Game One -- noon -- Miami at Pitsburg
Game Two -- 3:30 pm -- New York at Green Bay
Need we say more?
We brought Gemma upstairs. We couldn't stand her being in the car if we were going to be here for at least six hours straight. I worked on the computer and did laundry while Justin and Gemma bonded and watched tv.
The best thing going ... we got to participate in a tradional Mexican tradition and we found the baby Jesus! Mexicans conclude Christmas celebration with Rosca de Reyes (Kings Ring) bread for Epiphany. This is also when children get gifts, as if brought by the three wise men. The cake and the lore is similar to a King cake at Mandi Gras. Most often it is oval shaped and decorated with candied fruits and icing and the hidden effigy inside symbolizes that Jesus had to hide who he was both at birth and later in His life. A family checking into the hotel shared their cake with Justin. When we saw the family the next morning at breakfast and shared that we'd found the doll, they said we'd need to come back in February for tamales since tradition is that the person who finds the plastic doll hosts the next party in February. The person is also to have good luck throughout the year. This is particularly important to me right now since I did not have either black eyed peas or greens on 1 January.
We headed out to dinner after the games to a local seafood restaurant. Our ceviche was fabulous and our seared tuna salad was perfecto! We walked home afterward. Although the walk was short, it was all uphill. At this elevation, we all felt the effect by the time we returned.
