... On a Sunday. While people were worshipping.<br><br>But my host brother said it was common. So, I took some pictures.<br><br>And then he took me to see the body of Saint Francisco.<br><br>Yup, his actual body. I didn't take a picture of that. But wow! What an experience, huh?<br><br>We visited a few more markets (I bought a beautiful scarf for about $6 USD) and then went to pick up the rest of the family. Edgardo and his family (his wife and 3 children) took Ronja and I to ...

... away from me!<br><br>After the first group left, we talked about what had happened during the first 20 minutes and what we could have done better. We felt that we had started off too strong, playing such a difficult game right away. We decided to start the next session with a game: The "Go Bananas" game. This is a game that we first learned to play at the elementary school in Chino Valley. <br><br>We actually got some smiles! And laughs! It was so awesome!<br ...

... Ronja and I have our own room and they even moved a television in our room for us. How nice of them! She has two cats - one is big and black and the other is a golden, playful kitten.<br><br>Tuesday was our first full day in Puebla - Regional Learning Day. It was an awesome day! We were split into 2 groups and my group went a tour of Puebla first. Traveling in a double decker bus, we rode around the beautiful city of Puebla. It is so gorgeous here - the buildings have so much color ...

... LP Central America missing. A call to Hostel Home confirmed that the book was there. Ugh. There was 2 hours before our bus left and I had to run back to Roma to get it else we'd be operating blind in Guatemala and Belize. On the train, off the train, through station transfers and running through Roma. I must've come across in my mask as some sort of a flu infested crazed person. Back at the hostel Marco at the front desk told us that it would take us it would take 40 minutes ...

... history and lack of starbucks. It´s hard to believe it´s the 5th biggest city in Mexico, after 3 days it really felt like we´d seen most of the sights, and had mole coming out of our ears. There´s lots of pretty buildings though, and some good restaurants but my original idea of staying here long term was swiftly forgotton after a few hours.

Today we visited a place i have been looking forward to going to Cholula. Here there is a large pyramid totally underground, covered by a hill of dirt with a church sittting on top of it. I had read about it in my book and the internet and wanted to go and then a week or so a go i saw it when we were walking around and got even more excited about it. When we arrived we went inside the pyramid first. You could walk through a "small ...

... formed bonds with the children and will miss them terribly when we leave. Last week we put our newly developed balloon animal skills to the test and had an afternoon of balloon fun! English and Computation Classes at the Primary School Don Antonio de Mendoza (Sean): Well, my students are now out of school, and I attended their beautiful ...

... this is home to the third largest pyramid in the world - Temple of the Sun. After the mad energy of Mexico City I took a 2 hour bus journey (learnt my lesson on long bus trips by now) to the picturesque city of Puebla. Nearby was a town called Cholula. They say it has 365 churches - one built for every day of the year. Unfortunately I got bored at 358 so I cannot confirm this. Cholula also has what would have been the largest pyramid in the world had it been finished. It is an ...
