The kids, especially, are thriving. Natalie and I attribute this in part to our decision not to push them to do things they do not want to do. For instance, when they announced last weekend that they are sick of the local food, Natalie and I went along with it. According to Max, who is their spokesperson, they will eat only processed food that comes in packages, preferably from outside of Mexico. No fresh food.

Max's and Helen's decision to eat only packaged food will not stop us from enjoying the local delicacies -- in this case, quesadillas with tomatillo salsa and homemade cheese. |

The new diet makes it easier to pack the kids' school lunches. |

What a cool idea! Processed foods midway through the Mexican adventure! Even though the local food looks really, really yummy in these photos, I have often thought that Cheetos are one of nature's purest foods. I am wondering whether fresh strawberries are on the "no fly zone food" list as well? If so, that is too bad as they are tasting really great this month.
