... her father and friend Liliana. I was confused going in because Lili made it sound like it was not a graduation ceremony but rather an event to honor the completion of degrees, but i think it was a graduation. It was similar in many ways but also different in some, I liked the things that were different and kindof wish we could adopt some of them. The set up was similar: a gym and stage with flowers and teachers in robes and colors seated upon it. There ...

... being sick) and only concentrating on that one thing. At one point i remember thinking my time could be better used posting here since i was behind, but I just kept watching (sound familure...like at home on the TiVo) and after i was really glad i rested because i fell much better now...and the entries may not have made much sense anyhow, being that i was both tired and not feeling well.

... I am not so excited about this portion of the evening...i am quite sure i will not like it. It was maybe 40 min. to an hours drive, parking was a nightmare!! When we arrived I found that it was a big fair...maybe like the state fair at home. We walked throgh a short portion of it to get to the Palanka (or theater) where we would see the musical preformer. It was a large round biulding with 360 degree stadium seating. We sat in the top section with large ...

... of the hallways that have been excavated. i say small in relation to the size of the thing, it was a good distance but tiny comparativly. We walked all on the same level as we entered at ground level. We looked down many hallways that were gated off and also many, some quite large, staircases that went both up and down and lead to more hallways or rooms. One went up farther than we could see, it faded into the darkness like it ...

... habbitat, but here they were laying right beside the road, no joke, like 10 feet from the bus. I got some really good pictures of them, one of a lion with a big mane is amazing...possibly my favorite picture of the trip. Through most of the safari we could have the windows of the bus open but in some sections (like the loins) we had to close them. (I took LOTS of pictures with both my and Lili's camera (she let me borrow hers since we are not sure what is ...

... i did. He also told me we could tell the bus driver and/or safari guide that i was in the tour alone and did not speak spanish, so they could make extra sure that i did not get left behind. Alrighty then, lets do it! I double checked the departure times on the internet and when the time came we set out for the bus station. But when we arrived we found there is no longer a 2 pm tour only 11 am. Here is the 3rd I'm sorry of the day from Paco. He had no control over this but felt ...

... entrance door in particular had very impressive carvings. Next along we came to Casa Purcell, this house was built in 1905 in an English neo-gothic style again with a pale grey stone, but this time many of the rooms have elaborate fireplaces, stained glass windows and parquet flooring. The central staircase was especially nice with rounded alcoves extending into the main hallway. From there it is back to the camp for the night.

... about but I was able to get a little sleep on the bus. Everyone was very testy with each other. Not enough time away from everyone. We were headed to Cuatro Cienagas, another desert oasis with creatures found nowhere else in the world. It took around 4 hours to get there. We watched some John Claude Van Damn movie (first one I have ever seen), which passed the time. We got to the campground and set up everything for our group, which included all the cali. students ...

... museum and an apparently good university. Apart from these, there is really not much else, just suburbs and businesses, oh, I guess beef is worth mentioning - it was really good, well above the European average and "state-of-art" if compared to the French/Belgian beef-like products que s'appellent "steaks" back there..
