We were up early and then waited for our ride to the montañas. It was a short ride, but long, due to some unpaved road. We ended up at a small resort and took a walk up into the fresh air and generally enjoyed the scenery. Then we went to a fancy resort, Monterreal where they have golf and sking and lots of other things, but it was just to look around. The skiing in the summer is done on a non-snow slope. Several employees demonstrated both skis and snow boards - they were quite good. We returned close to the city where we had a party at an outdoor pavillion. More fabulous food, and a variety of salsa, Tequilla and Sotol. I had never heard of Sotol before, let alone tried it. Not bad. They were playing older mexican ballads and I asked for something more modern, say... Reagaton. Pepe demonstrated his agility and athleticism, no way could I keep up with him. But what a sweetheart, Pepe shared his recipe for the rice dish we were served. It starts out with boiling the rice with curry and tumeric. I plan to make a vegetarian version. Louis brought coasters for everyone. I picked some pink ones and was thinking they would need felt on the bottom, but they are remarkably smooth. Then it was time to load up and come back to town and get ready for the fiesta tonight.
