... with the baggage guys trying to locate it. There was nothing for it but to go into town and check in to a room. Í had all my valuables, but had to spend the evening in my sweaty bus clothes and hope it would be there in the morning.

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.

Take care all! See you in Puebla (hopefully with Internet!)

Love, Megan

Tuesday, also Mexico's Independence Day, was the cast's first full day in Veracruz and our first Regional Learning day. We first traveled to the local aquarium, the largest aquarium in the Latin Americas! It was such a great trip and I was so excited for the cast!

... was a getaway, a vacation from reality. However, the minute I walked into our house for dinner, the dreadful news broadcast glared back at me from the television in our kitchen. We didn't usually watch television during dinner; we liked to eat at the table and talk about our day. That week however, sitting at the counter top, watching the television at all times seemed mandatory.

I hope you all took time to remember the victims of 9/11 yesterday and to say a special prayer ...

Anyway, back to Mary. December 12th is a national holiday in Mexico. It is a holiday celebrating the "mother" of the country, (Mary) The Virgin of Guadalupe. Here´s the basic background story....... In 1531, a poor peasant guy sees Mary (yes, THE MARY, the mother of Jesus ...

How many Mexicans can you fit in a Ford Explorer? well, How many Mexicans need to get to the destination? there is your answer. I saw one with eight. Two in the front and six in the back. I´m sure they could have fit one more in there, and possibly one on the roof and one on each of the running boards. Can Mexicans drink our ...
