I guess you're right, we did eat well at the expense of hotel rooms & baths! We only ate out in Mexico because it was cheaper to feed a family of eight with big appetites. :) Occasional burgers in the U.S. happened more rarely. During our trips, we would pile into a hotel room the night before arriving to our first destination: Ags (my dad's family immigrated there from Jal.in the 1950's) for showers. The other 2 nights were spent in the car. -----Original Message----- From: Alberto Duarte [mailto:albertodua@...] Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 8:32 AM To: ranchos@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [ranchos] Re: Tamales and mole You ate real good!

I visited the same cemetery when I visited Jerez a number of years ago. I took photographs of the headstones (those that I thought that were related to me). The church and cemetery were probably very beautiful in their time, but yes, the site has been neglected.

You're right Alberto. I recall when I lived in San Diego, a Mexican-Amer co-worker telling me that another made tamales funny. I responded with how does she make them? He answered that she folded them instead of tying the ends with a small strip of hoja. I smiled because we fold them, and I kept wondering why they tied the ends in all of the Mexican restaurants in San Diego. This is when I discovered that this was how they made them in Baja California where my first co-worker's mom was from, and many of the restaurant cooks in the area. By the way, I vote San Diego for the best Mexican restaurants. In San Diego, my husband & I never got that stuffed feeling we often get from Northern Calif. Mexican restaurants, unlike my mom's. I remember while traveling to Mexico as a kid to visit my abuelitos, we used to have some of the best steaks in the Northern states from Ciudad Juarez through Durango, Zacatecas, etc., to our final destination: San Juan de los Lagos. My dad would give
Dear Jose,
It's not a very big town but it is a lovely one! I did get to go to a cemetery called El Panteon de Dolores (there was more to the name, but I cannot recall it.) It was very interesting. Some of graves are covered by elaborate headstones and huge carved marblery. A few are very distant relatives or family connections of my grandmother's. What was also sad about this site was that here these folks had spent a LOT of money to perpetuate their existence and the cemetery was so neglected and overgrown with weeds. One grave had a broken slab and bees had made their hive inside. My husband, our guide, and myself were the only ones there and it was a sobering experience.
Sorry, I don't know anyone's address or anything. Leonardo de la Torre Berumen and Bernardo del Hoyo Calzada are two gentlemen whom I met on my trip. Bernardo and Leonardo collaborate a lot on historical research. You might be able to get Leonardo's email address from Mimi Lozano's Somos Primos
