This is the seed pod on a tree. Almost as beautiful as the flower.

This is my usual massage day, so as we arrived at the foot and leg massage section of the process, the doorbell rang and Pasiano, Patti and Eduardo showed up with these gorgeous flowers and a very heavy bag.

Click on photos to enlarge and read captions.

The flowers were beautiful.
But, what was in the heavy bag?
Given with love, but…
Can you see what it was?
Yikes! is that a scorpion?
And a snake?
A snake and 3 scorpions, in fact.
In a bottle of Mescal labelled “Alacran.”

It was, in fact, a great delicacy.. Alacran Mescal, complete with snake and three giant scorpions. Said to increase virility in men. if you need some help in that department, drop by…I’ll give you a shot glass full plus a doggie bag.

Mexico never ceases to amaze me! So sweet,
as they know how much I like unusual things

Pepe was here to provide the massage and the audience!!! What a great beginning to the day. Brad will be here at 1:30 or 2 to take me out for another surprise, so more photos will probably follow.

Now go HERE to discover even more disturbing facts before going HERE to discover what birthday surprises the afternoon brought.

UPDATE: I did some quick research on this mezcal. See what I found HERE.

Harriet, Patricia, Judy and Amelia–This year’s “Wild Woman” writing retreat participants. I asked for a flower arrangement on the table, but they got a bit carried away. Here I am carrying it home:

I’m standing in front of a mural on the front of Viva Mexico Restaurant. The woman in blue to my right is also me and the man with the shadows of the flowers obscuring part of his face is Forgottenman.  When we got home, I divided the flowers into 6 bunches and everyone took some come.

Below is Judy Reeves, the resourceful leader of our workshop who was not in the first photo because she took the photo:

Sometimes flowers are the stars, at other times the supporting cast. This view is from the garden of a friend’s residence in Ajijic.
