Casa Regia Jalapa

... bus.<br>Every big stone is held in place by some kind of concrete in which small black rocks were placed. This gives a peculiar style to the constructions here. This and the way the pyramids are placed along the "main street", I think the place is pretty impressive.<br>I like the small ziggurats.<br><br>Bought 2 necklaces, 1 obsidian and 1 (supposedly) crystal, for 2.5 Euros.<br>

... partly cloudly, the weather was hot-hot-hot. We ran to the beach and then enjoyed rotisserie chicken and beers by hte pools. At night we drove to Coatepec, one of the 23 "pueblos magicos" in Mexico (http://www.visitmexico.com/wb/Visitmex ico/Visi_descubre_pueblos_magicos), where we heard the Mayor commemorate the "grito ...

Well Paul and I are getting settled into Xalapa, we got a nice little apt (here is a pic of Pablo y yo despues finding the apt) about a 10 min walk from downtown and are starting spanish lessons next week through the University of Veracruz school for International students. Although it may no be too exciting to read about, this first week ...

Justina et Roman, mes voisins polonais lorsque nous vivons à Pampelune et qui habitent désormais à Ciudad Juarez, à la frontière avec les Etats-Unis, sont descendus à Mexico pour la semaine de Paques. Nous partons donc pour une journée d'excursion dans le petit village minier de Real del Monte, situé dans l'Etat d'Hidalgo, accompagné aussi de Donaji, ex-pamplonaise elle aussi, et de Thibaut, qui était mon coloc lorsque je vivais à Querétaro.<br><br>Le ...

... støjer angiveligt mindre.<br>Metroen er ekstremt billig at benytte. En rejse koster 2 peso - Det er<br>ca 1 krone. Så min tur til Teotihuacan og tilbage igen kostede mig i<br>alt ca. 30 kr.<br> Teotihuacan ligger ca. 40 km nordøst for Mexico<br>City. "Teotihuacan" er et aztekisk navn, som betyder gudernes sted.<br>Ifølge legenden var det her guderne mødtes for at planlægge skabelsen<br>af mennesket.!<br> Hovednerven i byen var den brede ...

... ignorance for not speaking Spanish. The school that i'm currently teaching at is very 'old school' looking but beautiful and simple with a big fountain in the centre. My first two days of school were chaos, as I was continually thrown into classes of students with very limited English ability alone, with no lesson plan and no idea what I was supposed to do. I got by, but was very stressed by the end of my second day and was almost ready to leave. I spoke to one of ...

... the UK. Simon from Germany, Patrick from Sweden and another guy from Germany. The weather is just right, although I had to put my thick jumper on this morning as it was cold. I did not expect to be cold here??? now the sun is out and it is perfect. We have the afternoon off so I have been sitting in the sun reading Harry Potter. This evening we have an international party where we will be telling others about our culture, food etc: I have not really had an problems with ...

... were looking for, La Gruta. The sign said La Gruta 500 meters. We walked down a dirt road to what looked like nowhere. There were some small rock formations and small caves along this path wide enough for a car. We crossed a stray pit pull and kept on walking at a faster pace. Jamie saw a local walk into a cave, pull his pants down and squat. We reached La Gruta and were glad we did. It's a restaurant inside a very large cave ...

... s office asking for a lager donation. The deal was if the team could get the $2000 cords then they could keep the ball; which they did. So now I'm just waiting for the games to begin so I can go out and cheer on my team! A Baptist missionary team from Georgia came out to Murra for a week to do their thang and to put a roof on the Baptist church. It was a very interesting experience, I think for both me and them. They of course brought all kinds of things to give away to the ...

... and it was worth every penny. There was some amazing stonework from the early idigenous tribes of Mexico and the Museum itself is beautiful. It took me a while to walk through the whole thing then I went back to Baquettes and Vino for lunch. After another great sandwhich, I headed to the nearby park which was amazing. You walk through the gate and down the hill and you feel like you are in the rainforest. It is not all that big but still amazing. I'll finish typing this later.
