Today Friday July 12, 2013, I attended a lunch time banquet. It was exquisite. The menu was a fusion of Totonac, African, Spanish and Arab; what a mix it was, I still have the flavor swirling around in my mouth and heart. The diverse cultures that converged in the fertile ground of Veracruz were present, all in a delicious balance; subtle, rich, colorful and just enough spice to have you begging for more. They call it "son jarocho"; All lovingly served up by LAS CAFETERAS.

Many of my sisters and brothers were there, young and old.

 After Las Cafeteras had selflessly served us, we wanted more, and out came the cry for OTRA, OTRA, OTRA! What a feast it was! When I left, I had a great big smile on my face. With my soul fully nurtured and my heart full of hope, gravity took a break, and I floated away.
 Como dicen, barriga llena, corazon contento.
