Taquería los Mineros

Hoy comí en la Taquería los Mineros.  Fue diferente que el última vez que visitó.  Hace unos 2 años, pedí un burrito y recibí uno que pesó unas tres libras.  Esta vez pesó cerca de sólo uno.  Todavía fue rico.

Q lugar!  Debes verlo adentro.

Este taquería es bien pequeña como ves en la foto para arriba.  Es méxicano.  Hoy probé una bebida que nunca ha visto antes.  Se llama ¨agua de jamaica.¨  No sabía que fuera y pedí un tragito.  Me gustó y tomé un vaso de 32 oz.  Pregunté que está en la bebida y me dijó que es un flor (de jamaica) que se hierve y dispues filtran las semillas y añaden azúcar.  Acabo de buscar ¨agua de jamaica¨ en Google y discubrí que en íngles se llama ¨hibiscus tea¨ y no ¨jamaican water."  Erin me preguntó que estaba bibiendo y respondí con ¨jamaican water¨ aunque pensaba que no fuera la traducción correcta.

agua de jamaica / hibiscus tea

Final Wishes Regarding My Bicycles

I have told some people, but figured that I can write it down to let everyone know what I would like to happen with my bikes if I suffer an untimely death.

It is fine if my friends want to make a ghost bike in the event that I'm clobbered while riding, but please do it out of junk parts that wouldn't make a rideable bike.  I would like all of my current bikes given to people who will ride them every day (or nearly every day).  Priority should be given to people who know me and then to people without other means of transportation.

An Incredible Hulk

I went running this evening with Andrew and his friend Tyler.  Afterward, Andrew asked Tyler if he wanted something that sounded like "a credible."  I had to inquire what was meant by that.  He was referring to "an incredible hulk" which is what you get when you mix mountain blast powerade with lemon lime powerade.  The resulting drink is green and delicious.  I had never done this mixture before, but I highly recommend it.  We had ours out of a fountain, which I presume is just a bit better than mixing out of bottles.  I hear that you can also mix the powders.
