What's This?

Can anyone guess what this stuff is? Hint: It's light and fluffy, like cotton candy. If someone guesses correctly, you will win a FABULOUS prize.

Jen had the correct answer - it's Mexico's version of Beef Jerky! :)

The Gatemen

These two guys are in charge of the front gate of our cul-de-sac. One of the two are here 24 hours a day. We rarely see them together. The other morning as we were leaving for zone conference, they were both at the little casita, probably for the "changing of the guard". Russ jumped out of the car and took their picture. Fidel is on the left, and his cousin Francisco is on the right. They are really nice guys, and we appreciate them keeping our little part of Mexico safe. Sometimes we bring them Krispy Kremes, so we think they like us :)
