Late in the afternoon we were back in Cuernavaca at one of the ancient haciendas of Hernan Cortés. The gardens were beautiful and the dinner was good. The drinks are horchata, or rice water with sweetened milk and cinnamon (very tasty)and jamaica. Very pretty to look at, too. The jamaica is made from harvested hibiscus flowers which are boiled to steep out the color and flavor. Mom and I are standing at the base of a giant tree whose roots grow outside of and into the ancient stone walls. To our right is either a poster on the wall, or a door into another room showing Pres. and Sister Nancollas of the Mexico City North Mission across the court which gives you an idea of the immensity of this place. It presents a fun optical illusion, too.
