The Fish Fair, Coatetelco (Andrea)

The Fish Fair includes lots of fish to eat (naturally), lots of local artisans selling their wares, and an indigenous Nahua ritual of thanksgiving to the Mother Earth, facilitated by our friend, Felipa.

Eating fish (whole fish - fried, cooked in tamales, or cooked
in spicy broth) and drinking ginormous beers


Heidi, acting very professional after just finding out that she would be
participating
in the thanksgiving ritual to Mother Earth.

We offered rice...beans...

...cookies...wrapped candy!
