About two months ago (I know I’ve neglected this blog for too long!), Liliana – a friend from school – and I took a day trip to Dolores Hidalgo, a little town in the state of Guanajuato that is famous for two things: 1) unexpected icecream flavors (pig skin and avocado for example); 2) the cry of independence (el grito de Dolores) that began Mexico’s fight for independence. (The icecream – nieve – is really good; cheese was the most “exotic” flavor that I tried.) In addition to admiring all of the food with tempting colors and textures, we window-shopped in stores selling ceramics – talavería – with colors and designs so brilliant that the flowers or food filling them become adornments!
