Are US expats also insane about politics?

I love Leon. I took my Australian wife and her two adult daughters to the leather district, where they bought purses, shoes, and one daughter bought boots. I took them to El Rincon Gaucho, one of my favorite restaurants. I didn't get to take them to Brasil 2000 and others I'm quite fond of.

In Guanajuato, we drove through since one of my wife's adult daughters is handicapped, and can't manage the stairs. I drove through the old silver mines, and just the things you can see from a car (little though that is).

We ate at a number of restaurants where I knew the chef, so we got some extra nice food for an experience they will not soon forget.

Cheers

Is the Rincon Gaucho an Argentinian style steak house ? It seems wife went there once for a meeting years ago . If you like grilled meats al estilo Mexicano try Borregos in the North part of the city . They have great Mexican grilled meats and Mariachi on weekends . Carne cecina , bistek a su gusto and they serve a arranchera with a tender nopal underneath served with ranchero beans. Of course the usual pico de gallo .

I've tidied up the thread - please don't get personal, everyone is entitled to their opinion, as long as forum rules regarding inflammatory posting, racism etc., are followed

there is an ignore facility in USER CP if you want to use it, and a report button at the top of each post if you belive a post breaks a rule

Thank you. For the information and the clean up.

Thank you for the information and removing the personal attacks .


Getting back to topic of the original question. Judging from the responses, it seems that not only are the expats insane about politics, but more than average Americans living in the U.S. I never would have guessed that we would be so concerned about our former patria .

not just expat Americans - take a look at our Spain forum - UK politics is often a hot topic amongst the expat Brits!!






just a note - I removed racist comments as well as the one personal attack

[jasavak]

I'll take a look at that forum .



note - It's a shame people judge by skin color . Our family is dark skinned and we can't change that .

I doubt anyone here cares - & if you hadn't mentioned it, no-one would know, either - none were aimed at you, so I don't quite get your point


and it has nothing to do with politics

Ah yes, Rincon Gaucho is the Argentinian Steak House. We had churrasco de avestruz, I particularly like the way they do it. Tuvimos cuitillocoche, la primera experiencia de mi esposa.

I think I have eaten at Borregos and I love arrachera served with the cactus. My wife and her adult daughter had their first molcajete with tender meats and cactus, in Monclova on the way back to Eagle Pass, Texas.

Cheers,

Yes , the molcajete is one of their specialties . My wife and I also tried huitlacoche for the first time last year . She is from Mexico and never heard of it .

Avestruz ? I didn't know they served that . I remember it was the big trend to show off your Avestruz boots and belts back in the 90's . Of course Leon was a big part of that since it is the capital del calzado y articulos de piel.

I really like the smaller towns better , but Leon does have quite a lot to offer . The population has tripled since I got married there in 1988 . I remember driving my little VW Rabbit to Guanajuato for our honeymoon and the fog was so thick , I couldn't see more than 10 feet .
