I googled Mexican Independence Day just to make sure I wasn’t mixing up the 15th and 16th. This result isn’t labeled as the AI summary on google, but boy does it seem like it is.

Wow. I haven’t posted in 2 months here. Well, good news: I spent two weeks in México recently for vacation. I was able to visit my ancestral homeland and see my fellow Téenek in San Luis Potosí. It was amazing. 🇲🇽

Sometimes you’re at a small Latin American-serving grocery store and inspiration strikes: fajita and onion taco with a big dollop of guacamole. 🌮🇲🇽
