My Dad's Trip to Mexico

My dad went to Mexico right before Thanksgiving. Without me :o

He went to a market


                                                                       with vegetables 
                                                               
                                                                     
                                                                     and garlic


 and dried peppers


 and beans.



This chandelier looks like the one at Sonora Grill. Probably because my dad went to this same place to buy the one for the restaurant. 



This is called a molcajete. It is used to smash spices and make things like salsa and guacamole. Or you can put flowers in it. 


They ate lots and lots of food. 




This plant is called agave.


This is an agave factory.


They sell them like this. You pick the number of which one you want to buy. 


Agave is used to make tequila. So my dad went on a tour of the factory. 


This is where they stayed.



And after all that Mexican I guess they were tired of it.
