Tennessee

4 September 2023

This is holiday 3-day weekend in USA so we went to Tennessee to visit my mom’s cousin, Lydia, her husband, Lorenzo and daughter, Ivette.

Ivette’s husband, Chris, is in medical school there and in his last year of residency.

We had a nice time with them. We went to children’s park, a winery for wine tasting, a farmer’s market where we bought many varieties of mushrooms.

We sautéed them all and had a “mushroom tasting.”

Lorenzo made his famous mariquitas for us. I hadn’t had them since I was a little girl. It brought many good memories.

They all fell in love with Anna. And Anna really took to Chris and Ivette. She would follow them around the house like a little shadow. Chris has 3 very big dogs which scared Anna at first but they are trained and only wanted to lick her with kisses (which my mother was horrified by and would hold Anna high up 😂).
