Viva Mexico et Rebecca!

My friend Rebecca came to Portland, OR to freeze and help me out while Joe was/is in Kentucky with his family.  She is an excellent friend and chef, and made me all sorts of wonderful food, which is now safely tucked away in my refrigerator and freezer.  I feel like a well-taken care of squirrel with a whole lotta nuts in storage.  Ah....

Here is an photo of her (when I visited her in Merida, Yucatan, and we went to the Oaxacan festival and ate crickets!)

We went to the Women's March here in Portland, OR January 21 along with 100,000 of our closest friends! 

We went to the zoo, and saw Nora, our young polar bear, the new elephant lands digs, and other animal friends.  

We went to a very cool winery in Oregon City (who knew??) that is reminiscent of Spain!  Villa Catalana Cellars

 And the Portland Winter Light Festival at the OMSI Waterfront.  Light Festival

It was a relaxing, enjoyable and fun time.  Can't wait to head to Mexico to visit her!!!
