New Roof

Our good friends Chuchie and Malena are building the second story of their house. Last week Wednesday they put the roof on. The tradition here is that friends help carry cement up to the roof, bring a small wooden cross and fireworks, and then stay and eat chicken mole for lunch. I (Liz) helped Malena around the fire all morning and then helped serve everyone in the afternoon. Martin helped carry cement. Now we know to bring a cross and fireworks next time.
