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.

My neighbors David and Sergio leave tomorrow to spend Xmas with their families in Los Angeles, but today they brought me over this gorgeously wrapped gift:

Imagine my surprise, however, when I removed the wrappings to find this perfectly ordinary brown cup:

This is the couple whose outrageously beautiful Xmas decorations I showed last year. There is not an ordinary object in their house!  Ha. A gag gift, for sure.  Then Sergio insisted I make a cup of coffee and pour it into the cup and voilá!  This transformation occurred:

Remember when they gave me the Cheetos Torciditos beach towel last Xmas? They will stop at nothing to support my mania for this incredible snack.  Sorry, though, not available outside of Mexico.  Suffice it to say, however, that I have never served them to a single person who didn’t become an immediate addict.  David and Sergio are even taking two large bags of them with them to the U.S.  Add a glass of my Sangria alongside and perfection is served!!!

Touché, guys. You have again won the Xmas gift prize.

But sadly, as I drank the cup of coffee, this happened:

And, once I’d sipped the dregs from the cup:

How to stop the Cheetos from disappearing? Perhaps this is the solution:

But it is going to take some willpower to enact this plan!!!
