We learn more about summer fruits, thanks to our friends at Fruteria Los Mangos. So many varieties, colors and recipes to explore. Anyone up for a colorful pomegranate margarita?

A fruit store in Mexico is not just a fruit store—as you can see. These friendly people also have chicks! But don’t think they’re for sale. They’re only given as gifts to the most loyal customers!

Quite frankly, it’s not hard to find excellent Mexican food in Mexico City! Yet, we still consider ourselves lucky to have pulled into Fonda Mi Lupita while out foraging along Calle 17 de Mayo. We invite you to join us for a little chat with manager José Luis Calixto Escobar, completamente!

Maybe business is not as good as it used to be, but there are still plenty of hungry mouths to feed in Fonda La Lupita. As we can see, José, our friend and encargado, works six days a week and doesn’t have much free time on his hands.

Felipe Calderón is running for president of Mexico as the candidate of PAN, Partido Acción Nacional. “The National Action Party” is also the party of Mexico’s current president, Vicente Fox.

Javier is proud of his fruit stand: he says it’s the best in all of Tijuana, Mexico. He explains to us how he prepares the different fruit shakes, fruit cocktails, and fruit salads, as well as a special recipe from Tijuana for tostilocos.

Watch Javier as he shows you how he makes a cottage cheese fruit salad. So many colors, so many flavors, so many names!

Julián Martínez will tell us a bit about himself, including how he grew up between Mexico and the United States and came to be a teacher at various levels and institutions.

This classic Mexican western begins with a boy and his godfather discussing bravery. We all experience fear, but we mustn’t be dominated by it, says the godfather. The boy is just getting over hepatitis, and is eager to accompany the doctor back to town…
