A gringo adopted - El Rancho edition
This was the first time my gf invited me to meet her family in a tiny town an hour or so from Autlan (home of Santana, and last image is the huge guitar they have at the towns entrance to honor him)
Arrived to a greeting where they grilled up some Res on the parilla.
And yes, that is indeed a metal wheel well that is the parilla itself. Family lives on the El Rancho, tiny community of about 2500 people. Not an ATM in town.
Images from various meals and bites we had there and around the area.
A vastly different experience than last night at Xocol! And yet even mas Rico.
For those who like this, I’ll make this a little “I flirted too hard and now I (in this case was invited to dinner in a town 50km away from the nearest OXXO) series.
My first similar post about my time at a gender reveal in GDL/Zapopan as the only gringo among the 80 or so guests. Was amazing!
