Vicente Fernández y la Doctora Torrez

This past Friday, Estrella successfully defended her dissertation (the reasons we were chillin' in Burque). From now on, y'all must call her either La Profe or Doctora. To celebrate, we went with some friends to see el mero mero of ranchera, Vicente Fernández. It was amazing!!! Chente sang most of my favorites, although he didn't sing 'El Hijo del Pueblo.' My favorite, as always, was 'El Rey.' Chente and Junior sand 'Amor de los Dos,' which was fresh, although a bit cheesy.

Throughout the entire concert, there was this vaquero in front of us that was totally pedo and kept beating his ten-gallon hat against his leg whenever Chente would sing. It was actually quite humorous.

The morning after the show, Estrella, the grrls, and I drove straight back to Michoacan del Norte (yeah, I mean Michigan). It was a crazy two days of fifteen hours worth of driving. Now that were back, I'm chillin' here for about a week and then I'm off to Oaxaca to teach and give some lectures (maybe even make a print at La Curtiduría).

¡Ahh, que chulas! Don't they look happy to be on a family trip?
