Hospitality to Strangers - Part II

After some brief work this morning, we visited the house and family of Dona Petrona Vega, the 75-year old matriarch of the Trujillo clan. We started the late morning making fresh tortillas--grinding the corn, rolling the dough and formng the dough into discs. Along with eating them hot off the griddle with cheese, we got to watch the Trujillo clan make local pastries. If that wasn't enough food, we then transitioned into eating lunch an hour later with their extended family and seeing Ernesto and Daniel's wood working shop. One of the great highlights of the day, along with feeling totally accepted by their family without knowing us, was Dona Petrona's grace before lunch and doing the Lord's Prayer together at the end in Spanish and English. It's 5pm and everyone's trying hard to stay awake for another couple of hours and getting through dinner. Glad we got the pinanta out of the way for tomorrow's festivities with the El Chaguite community...Another great Nica day.
