Saturday Night Dinner

Saturday night we were invited to eat at the house of an Engineer that Eric works with. They were at the Toro's game with us.

Once again, we did a Mexican BBQ with them. Its delicious. You pick the meat, and vegetables apart, stuff it in the quesadilla, and top it with sauce and guacamole. I wouldn't mind incorporating quesadillas into our future American BBQs.

Julio is an electrical engineer, his wife, Marbella, is a lawyer. They have a 12 year old daughter, Wendy. They are such a nice family. They moved to Tijuana for better work opportunities and just recently bought their house. I don't know how much this house costs (it is in a nice area of TJ), but for a newer house on the outskirts of Tijuana, you're looking at about $67,000 dollars.

We spent all evening with them and had a great time. We talked a lot about the differences of our countries, and about where we come from. It was so nice of them to invite us into their home.

Do you see the Guacamole in the the glass bowl? Did you know that if you leave the avocado seeds in with Guacamole that is doesn't turn brown? I didn't know that trick! Just thought I'd share in case some of you didn't know either.

Just a side note before ending this post. The first Sunday we went to church here, we parked in the church parking lot, and started to walk into the building. A local approached us and told us that if we had any intention of leaving early, we should probably park on the street. Here is why:

People create their own parking spots and will park right behind you, with no room to get out. The church building is full of chairs, tile, and running fans! It has a very Puerto Rico feel to it. As everyone always says, the church is the same every where. Some just might be a little more relaxed about keeping to the schedule :)
