ños. They also wanted chicken mole. So we served that with rice and corn tortillas. And no paryt is a Mexican party without a piñata, so we had that and candy bags made up to give apart from the candy in the piñata because that's how they roll here in Mexico. When Franciscisca (not in this photo) broke the piñata the kids dove for the candy while she was still swinging and one reveived a blow to the head and another one a blow to the hand. All in all we had a great time.Friday, December 15, 2006
Christmas Party
Today we had our Christmas party in Lomas Bonitas. The children were so excited. They were jumping around hugging each other and us, screaming, and falling on the ground. Wednesday they made picture frames and I took pictures of each one individually. The first thing we did today was to glue the pictures to the decorated frames. They turned out very nice. The children had requested pizza so we arranged for a pizza place to open early so that we could fulfill their request. One of the pizzas that we ordered was a Mexican pizza that has sauce, cheese, beans, chorizo, and jalape

New president
Today a new president was installed in Mexico. For the past six years Vicente Fox has been the president and today Felipe Calderón was installed as president for the next six years. When a new president takes office every six years on December 1st, it is a national holiday. There have been major arguments and physical fights over the installment of this president. Official tallies indicated Felipe Calderón as the victor after the July 2 election, but due to ballots being found in two garbage dumps his opponent Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador rejected Calderón as the winner. To make a several months long story short, in September Mexico's special electoral court unanimously declared Felipe Calderón president-elect of Mexico. Obrador then said he would create an "alternate government," and called Calderón an "illegitimate president." And this is what all of the fighting has been about. But despite all of the protests Felipe Calderón took his oath of office with the support of the outgoing president Fox.
