Fiesta Inn Veracruz Boca D Rio

... and i had a rewarding day exploring it. It was the place where the Spanish entered Mexico and became their first settlement, so lots of history. Wandered around a fort, went to see some manatees in an aquarium (they weren´t there) and got chatting to a local historian at the Museum. It was a nice little spot to break up my journey, but i have got my first overnight bus tonight!<br><br>

... and proud of my cast. They did a phenomenal job. I can't wait to do it again in Puebla.<br><br>I'm making this short as I have to leave for the buses soon but I'm posting some of the pictures that I took last night :) Hopefully in Puebla or Mexico City - our final stop before Europe - I'll be able to find someone to record one of my songs and I'll post it on here as well.<br><br>Take care all! See you in Puebla (hopefully with Internet!)<br><br>Love, Megan<br>

... was. I have learned so much in the 2 1/2 weeks that I have spent here in Veracruz. I hope that these lessons stay with me for the rest of my travels and the rest of my life.<br><br>Yesterday we arrived at our host drop-off facility at 7:30 a.m. as it was our second community impact day and we were supposed to be heading to Xalapa (the capital city of Veracruz...I've been there a few times since my arrival for promotions reasons) to plant trees in a jungle. However, we were informed that ...

... Corn Flakes cereal, not Crispix. Crispix is not available in Mexico and, I have to admit, Corn Flakes works just as well! They really liked the dessert ("postre" in Spanish) but I think it was pretty rich for them! It seems that Mexican desserts don't include very much chocolate and sugar so I'm sure that puppy chow was a big surprise! <br><br>Monday was quite the frantic day as it was the cast's arrival day in Veracruz. The day was spent making ...

Hi friends :)<br><br>Just wanted to wish you all a fabulous Wednesday! I've had a crazy 3 days here as we were prepping for the cast's arrival on Sunday and Monday, the cast arrived on Monday, and today was our first full day with the cast as well as Mexican Independence Day! I started a blog tonight but need to get up early tomorrow as we are going to the beach! I'll be sure to finish tomorrow!<br><br>I hope you all are well :)<br><br>Hugs,<br>Megan<br>

... there! I'll post fun memories, pictures, and shout-outs to some great people on campus :)<br><br>Now, does anyone want to volunteer to buy me a plane ticket to Moorhead for the weekend? Just so I can walk in the bookstore and pretend to buy textbooks or go back to DS (Dining Services) for some chicken-o's? <br><br>You will?<br><br>Thanks :)<br><br>Have a wonderful night and enjoy your Thursday, friends :)<br><br>Cheers,<br>Megan

We stayed 1 night in veracruz. The campground was ok but nothing to write home about. Had cold showers and there was a werido move right in next to us in the night in a class c that looked like it should not be on the road. We were the only ones in the campground and he had to park right next to us and then when I woke up I ...

... and I would bet that you can´t walk down a street in this country without seeing a Mary statue, shrine, bobblehead or sticker. Mexico really has it bad for old Mary, and why not?<br> <br>We celebrated Mary Day on the beach in Anton Lizardo with a leisurely walk into the local fishing village where we say two fishermen unloading their "catch" for the day...complete with two four-foot sharks. It was a good Mary Day for all.<br>

... big cities much then, nor could I handle them very well. I still don&#8217;t like them much, though I can handle them much better now. Veracruz is pretty large itself, but laid-back. But it&#8217;s hot, the summer coming on fast in the tropics. I make tracks up north, next stop Tampico.
