And she was sure they'd be robbed, killed, and poisoned.

My parents are in the middle of a month long vacation, which started with a week in Mexico at a cousin's wedding. Never has the change in my Mom's outlook on life been more evident, than in the first email that came out of that visit. With it, I learned that:

1. She went crazy enough at the wedding to take off her pantyhose and dance in bare feet (In 30 C heat. But still! Scandal!);
2. Boys in Mariachi bands wear very tight pants;
and
3. Tequila is good if you have it with a lime.

You go, Mom.
