As our time in St Cristobal draws to a close, we realise we still have to teach Mariet how to use the present we gave her (a blackbird pie funnel). That means holding a cooking class.
We even got the kids involved. Daisy, Itamar and Pablo made biscuits while I prepared some pastry, and Mariet taught me how to make empanadas, which are a sort of deep fried cornish pasty (healthy!). Mariet's Mum Conche made cheese straws from my spare pastry, and looked after Clover while we cooked.
While we were there, we got a text to say that Mum and Dad had arrived in Mexico City and were at their hotel. This was a great relief considering they don't speak Spanish and had to clear customs and find a taxi. They are staying with us here for nearly a week before we go on a road trip and finally fly home.
