snapshots of mexico, literal and figurative

Mexico has worked its way back into my life a few times in the past several weeks.  First, the infamous mikesnotes swung by Chicago for a night of reminiscing and alcohol (though surprisingly, no Tequila).  Then, an invitation from KDG to a Son Jarocho concert here, though unfortunately I couldn’t make it.  Finally, a fantastic piece of mail arrived from Miss Kinder with–what else–tacos!  And not just any tacos;  these were delicious gummi tacos, the most authentic type!
