Surprisingly it rained today.We drove about 2 hours to Creel and had lunch. Creel is kind of like the touristy shop part of Gatlinburg merged with Mexican culture. I had some chicken tacos and on the request of my sister, had some Mexican hot chocolate (as she had heard it was something different). So, Melinda, Mexican hot chocolate is very good. I watched them open a packet of Nestle Hot Chocolate and pour it and boiling water into the cup. So I can honestly say it is just like Mom used to make.
We then drove another 2 hours to Copper Canyon to see the rain clouds. We stopped in the hotel (picture taken after the rain) and sat in the bar area on a great couch with a big picture window of the canyon (the bar area was the two right most windows).One of the locals was kind enough to show us the way. She (Armida) had brought one of her friends (Monica) -- their drinks were (1) tequila and grapefruit juice and (2) beer and tomato juice on ice. I am not sure where to start with the second one as it seems wrong on each ingredient level.
More on this trip (funny stories) in the next post.

So, ok when you get back to the states, I will get out my recipe book and make the one for mexican hot chocolate, especially, if you bring some ingredients back with you, Sis
In defense of Melinda - I have seen Mexican Hot Chocolate made differently too!! It must be like Cinco De Mayo - only celebrated/served in the US!
