... melted. We ate that cake really fast!<br><br><br>Last memory! I promise!<br><br><br>I turned 22 on March 6 of this year and hadn't really planned on doing anything special. On March 5, a few minutes before midnight, I was doing what I usually do at night: working on theatre work and watching funny YouTube videos. Matt kept pressuring me to hurry up so we could watch TV at his townhome. I didn't want to because it was late - almost midnight - and I was tired. I ...

... on our way to the bus station and got help from a couple who spoke a little English. They were very entertaining, playfully bickering for the eight blocks that they led us to the bus station. Finally, at 4 in the morning we reached the bus station just in time to sit up and wait for our 6 am bus. With little rest we pushed through the next two days in which we had to do ten different sketches. It was incredible how ...

... home. When we got back we were all wrecked but decided on a game of pool with some of the other nationalities, and am proud to say the Irish team beat the Yanks and a team made up of an Aussie and a Mexican...so we were happy. So today, the heads are heavy and we're lashing back the water. We've only one day left in the hostel so we might leave Guadalajara tomorrow and head south east. Will keep updated either way! Slainte for now, James

O.k., so we headed east toward Veracruz from Puebla and took a right turn down the coast arriving at an R.V. park right on the beach. I have to say, the drive from Puebla on the Mex 150 toll road to the Golf Coast was pretty amazing. You drive up into a valley of mountains and when you start the descent the enviornment changes completely. All of a sudden you go from desert land to lush, tropical jungle land. It was a pretty amazing ...

... and Spanish tutor I have ever had. As some of you may already know, I enjoyed the nightlife, and did my best to "absorb the local culture." But all kidding aside, I had an excellent experience and learned more Spanish than I had expected. I recommend the program to anyone who would like to learn some Spanish and have a great time in Mexico.

... Besides, they don´t Know what a Quarter Pounder is anyway, with cheese or without. what´s the deal with these peso thingys´s anyway? Back in the day, it was like 100 pesos to the dollar or something crazy like that. So the government made a NEW peso in the eighties maybe. At that time 1 peso was equal to one dollar, but because of inflation and things the NEW pesos are back up to 10 to 1 dollar. Some businesses take dollars but most do not, some businesses like hotels and nice ...

... as well. When teaching a song I need to listen to the children's notes more, I tend to listen to just the lyrics. That's especially true with the Spanish barrier. The kids are very good at mimicking movement, its better to show them something and have them copy than it is to try and explain what you want. It was good to have the words "pa-to" (ta ta) and "pa-ti-tos" (ta ti-ti) to give them a mental though to ...

... person in the middle who had to guess who had the "rose" at the end of the song. In order to make it more difficult to guess who had the "rose", and also to enforce the idea of keeping a steady beat, everyone planted their left hand on their knee and the the right hand moved back and forth even if you didn't have the "rose". It worked really well. I used a small spool of thread for the rose and had Dr. Riley playing a drum so the kids could hear the steady ...

... before heading back to the hostel to get our packs and see the Catedral. We found out that the Catedral was only open for viewing at 4:30 pm, so we decided it could wait for another day and headed to the bus station. We got right on a bus heading to Oaxaca, where we were met by two English girls (Helen and Cat) from the Mexico City Hostel. We had a great dinner and it was off to bed.
