North American Pizza
On a recent bus ride, Dean developed a hankering for some pizza. Not just any pizza - not Italian pizza, not Mexican pizza, but good old American Domino's pizza. Having previously huddled in a Domino's to hide from a storm, we knew they existed here in Puebla, but had no idea where one might be located reasonably close to our hotel. We stopped a random passerby to ask if he knew where to find a local Domino's, and he informed us that indeed he did know where to find some 'North American' pizza. Interesting choice of words. This was the second time since arriving here I have heard the term North America used in reference to some place other than Mexico. I had always assumed Mexico to be part of North America - as in the NAFTA document and such. It seems some Mexicans may consider themselves more part of Central America. To each his own I guess. So a couple of us head out for pizza and return with a pepperoni and cheese pie, along with some hot and spicy potato wedges. Dean did manage to pass up the gargantuan 3.3 liter cola offering for the relatively small 2 liter bottle of Coke. We feasted well into the night.
