Those Oreos are called Oreo Trio with the Tres Sabors of Chocolate. I received a response to my email to Nabisco asking whether these will be available in the US, and was told that different products are available in different parts of the world depending on the tastes of the people in those countries. Now why won't americans buy triple chocolate cookies? We know they won't, because Keebler used to have Keebler Double Fudge Sandwich Cookies, and they are no longer available. There is a wonderful Greek Version of Double Chocolate Sandwich Cookies by Papadopoulos, and now these Oreos here in Mexico. I found a Canadian version of Double Fudge Sandwich Cookies at Fresh Market, but so far the best are the memory of those Keeblers, the Greek ones, and now these Orio Trios.
Remember when I said that Away was the next book to read? If you haven't started it, then forget that and read
The Septembers of Shiraz by Dalia Sofer - I read it all day yesterday in a mad marathon of sun and shade and sun and shade and not being able to get out of this story. It's about a family in Iran in 1981 shortly after the Shah was deposed and the Ayahtollah came into power. We get to know each of the members of this family, and we see them through experiences that are all too familiar to so many people in today's world. I loved this book.

Loterias is a great game that is the Mexican version of Bingo. Each person gets a card or cards with sixteen different pictures (and words). The caller goes through a master set of cards, calling out the pictures to the players who cover each picture on their card with a marker as in Bingo. The first person to cover their card wins. This picture shows the most common version of Loterias, but I found a version with Alphabet letters and easy vocabulary words, as well as a Disney Princess version, as well as a version with body parts. So much fun and we're learning Spanish.
