Vote for Isis - Win some whiskey!

I didn't win the liquor. But I thought this was about the coolest illegal maneuver anybody could pull at a popularity contest voting booth. As you came into the Chico y Chica UNPA finale dance venue, you had to put your ticket into one of these receptacles to vote for your favorite. One of the contestants, Isis, had a crony holding this sign: After you vote for Isis, Ariadna will give you a ticket for the whiskey raffle!
Of course you must know how I voted...

Pool with some professors

Ahhhh, the joys of Mexican University life! Here, it is completely normal to have a popularity/talent contest to elect a Boy and Girl UNPA every year. The last round of the competition is a dance routine competition where the contestants rope their most graceful friends into doing a disco-dance spectacle. I knew I couldn't miss this.
But before we went, we met up with some of the other professors and went to the Trova bar to get a buzz. I was really looking forward to it because they have shisha there and I was about drooling over the thought of tobacco. So we got there and OF COURSE they had no charcoal so we couldn't smoke shisha. Tuxtepec giveth and Tuxtepec taketh away.

Music Video from Mascaritas

Nothin' says lovin' American-style like Mexican Banda musicians in Indian costumes. I was, and remain, amazed.

It took awhile and I'm still not satisfied with this one, but you get the idea.

Las Mascaritas

Well, I labeled this under Jenny Winny Wino, but it might not exactly qualify. These are some pictures from a local bar called Mascaritas, "The little masks." Joe and Cita go here often, but I don't drink like those fish. I go sometimes. The bar is tiny but has the best jukebox in Tuxtepec. It is hot and the blood-sucking bugs get in, but it can be a fun place. They serve peanuts with chile powder and lime juice, and corn puff things with hot sauce on the side when you order a bunch of beer.
Odd, how I am living in the cradle of beer-land here (we are surrounded by mega-breweries for Corona in Tuxtepec. Well. One anyway.)and I would rather have wine most of the time. Go figure.
