The Story:
We took a trip out to Pachuquilla, Puebla, three hours from Mexico City to have a New Year’s Eve party with 70 of Aaron’s aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, second cousin’s, second nephews and second nephew’s second uncles. We holed up in a creaky, hole-filled pre-revolutionary house for the night and shared pulque, pozole and ponche with tequila.
We took a chance to get away from the party, head down to the river and talk about family traditions, about the well-known (to some) poem “The Man in the Mirror” (or “The Guy in the Glass”), and how even Mexican police can hate the government. Also, we had the honour of Aaron’s wife telling us some stories of elves and changelings in the forests of Puebla.
Please accept our blessings as you move into 2016 with … The Paradise Paradox!
