z_clark, you 'da man!
He said, “No, no hay gringos…..solo chilies verdes.”, as he pointed to himself. I assumed “chilies verdes” was referring to Mexicans, like himself.
Hey Fletch -
Thanks for that! The guy called himself a chilie verde with a straight face, so I assumed it was not a bad thing.
I really enjoyed reading your last ride report in Mexico. It helped with the planing of this one.
Thanks!
Lengua tacos! Lick 'em before they lick you!
I used to love the lengua lunch plate at a little Mexican place in San Antonio I frequented.
He may have been referring to a famous line from a famous Mexican song called "La Llorona". This song just FEELS like Mexico...
La Llorona
Todos me dicen el negro, llorona
negro pero cariñoso
Yo soy como el chile verde, llorona
picante pero sabroso.
Ay! de mi, llorona
llorona de ayer y hoy
ayer maravilla fui, llorona
y ahora ni sombra soy
Dicen que no tengo duelo, llorona
porque no me ven llorar
Hay muertos que no hacen ruido, llorona
y es mas grande su penar
Ay! de mi, llorona
llorona de azul celeste
y aunque la vida me cueste, llorona
no dejare de quererte
