Me inside a traditional Kumiai house built at the museum!
Thursday, after the Kumiai museum we had lunch at a great little restaurant called La Mision then toured the Tecate Brewery and had a beer in their Jardin de Cerveza (Beer Garden)!
Friday morning we went to Las Piedras (the rocks) part of La Fundacion de La Puerta. Las Piedras focuses on preserving the natural habitat in Tecate and the mountains as well as the native peoples in the area. They teach local school children about conservation, recycling and gardening!
We went for a walk through the moutainside and a local Pai Pai woman told us about some of the plants and their uses along the way! The view was amazing!
Next we went to La Cocina que Canta (the kitchen that sings) for a tour of their gardens and an all organic, gluten free, vegetarian lunch!
The head chef, Denise, of La Cocina que Canta and the head gardener showed us around their beautiful organic gardens! Two acres of gardens are tended by the head gardener and six other men. The two acre garden feeds the Rancho La Puerto, a wonderful wholistic spa and La Cocina que Canta the cooking school.
While touring their garden we got to taste fresh fruit right from the ground! It was delicious!
After touring the garden and tasting the veggies raw, we went into La Cocina que Canta and had a wonderful vegetarian lunch, and I don't really like veggies, but it was delicious! And so simple!
Computer is being slow... More to come soon!
Thanks for Reading!
