You're in Mexico and the tortilla's weren't homemade.. for shame...LOL..<BR/><BR/>I don't think anyone could stand not having a shower for 40 days.

They stuff cotton in their ears so the air won't get in after they give birth and make them deathly ill. They also don't read for 40 days because they say it will make them blind. Some women will only eat tortillas and beans during the 40 days, saying other foods will make them sick. They also don't believe in bathing for 40 days and won't leave the house OR the bed. I can imagine you caused quite the stir by getting out so soon. We always just explained to the Nicaraguans that we have different customs, it was easier than saying we didn't believe theirs. They would then say I wasn't affected by things because I was American... okay, whatever!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10949202624699655465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27605810.post-46855175046804002092007-10-04T17:50:00.000-07:002007-10-04T17:50:00.000-07:00The pampering would be cool...but no shower for 40...The pampering would be cool...but no shower for 40 days?
