Back in Morelia!!
I came back to Morelia a couple of days ago, and although it nice to be back I now miss Oaxaca...but I guess that it will always be like that.
Amiel got Varicela (don't know the translation) but she got covered in red itchy spots...luckely I have a very nice friend who's a doctor who helped her with medicine to take away the itchyness because you just feel so helpless when she's crying because of pain and there is nothing that you can do to make it go away...
When I came back from Oaxaca Jose Luis from La Bola came to pisk me up and I spent the day with him and his family...we had a really nice day going to the market and eating sugar cane, which is some tradition at this time of year, something with the Virgin of Guadalupe and pilgrimage...I got the whole explenation but I didn't really get it as I'm not really that into all of that stuff...in the evening they took me back to Candelarios house, where I'm staying...Cande and his wife Monica are expecting a baby boy now on the 16th of December.
On thursday I started the day going with Candelario to la Bolas rehearsals and in the evening I went with them to class...they teach music twice a week...I didn't join the class though I waited for Cuauhtemoc (Cuate) to finish because we were going to a Fernando Delgadillo concert in the evening...but before that he took me to dinner at a place called la inmaculada, which is like a food court but beneath a Church, it started as a place to gather funds to build the temple but ended up being so popular that it stayed in the lower part of the Church...
The concert was great...I really like Delgadillos music...but three hours of trova might be just a bit to much...especially when there's a one hour warm up of the same type of music...very calm, just one man and his guitar...you tend to get a bit drowsy no matter how much you might like the musik...
Friday was the big day of the tlayudas Tlayudas is a traditional dish from Oaxaca which consists of a hughly oversized mais tortilla, which you first smear with a grease called aciento, then you add mashed beans, string cheese and cabbage. Then you warm it on a grill and fold it on the middle... I have never actually made tlayudas before but they turned out surprisingly well, ofcourse I didn't make it all on my own I had help from Cuate and Cande...we all ended up extremely full and I even got a song dedicated to me at their concert in Leon de Mecenas that evening in honor of the tlayudas ...el feo which is a very famous and beautiful song from Oaxaca... As the concert was in a peña (type of restaurant) it didn't end until 1.30 in the morning so luckely today we didn't have to get up early...we're not leaving until 17 o'clock to be on time in Acambaro, Michoacan where la Bola is playing tonight...
