Compass from the embassy told me that if we get to 10,000 views, the tacos will be pulled!

If you help me share it, I’ll send you pictures of the tacos. giddy!

And besides everything, today is my mother’s birthday, Dona Maria Teresa Guerra Ochoa, so send her the song from El Quelite as a gift, to Culiacán, Sinaloa!
