Hannukah

El domingo fuimos por primera vez a una fiesta de Hannukah. Comimos las tradicionales latkes (un tipo de pancake de papa o hashbrowns con mas ingredientes), pollo, ejotes con aceite y un aderezo muy rico y zanahorias ralladas con limon.

Last Sunday we went for the first time to a Hannukah celebration. We ate the traditional latkes (a kind of pancake or hashbrowns but with more ingredients), chicken, green beans with oil and grated carrots with lime.
Mani (el hijo de los canadienses que nos invitaron) e Isabel jugaron al dreidel (una pirinola)con monedas de chocolate, aunque Isabel se entretuvo jugando su propia version del juego.

Mani (the son of the Canadian friends that invited us) and Isabel played the dreidel with chocolate coins. Isabel played her own version of the game, though.

Luego rompimos la pinhata (que no podia faltar en Mexico), prendimos tres velas (por ser el tercer dia de Hannukah) y bailamos la hora (un baile judio que generalmente se baila en bodas y Bar Mitzvahs). Nos las pasamos muy bien.

We later had a pinhata (we had to have one. We're in Mexico, you know), we lighted three candles because it was the third day of Hannukah and we dance the hora (a jewish dance for weddings and Bar Mitzvahs. We really had a great time.
