... already after 2.<br><br>There are several different bus lines, offering differing levels of comfort and speed, and also different times. One called ETN had been recommended to me by several people, so my heart sank when I saw that their next bus wasn't until 4:30. I almost bought a ticket anyway, since that was the only familiar name, but decided to have a quick tour of all the other ticket desks first. Five minutes later had a first class ticket for a window seat ...

... and during- parties! All of this was in one of the most gorgeous cities ve ever been in, replete with cobblestone streets, winding allies, epic stone staircases and even more epic churches, beautiful pastel-colored houses, endless street markets, and, unexpectedly, dozens of roadside pizza stands (in reviewing the weekend, I think I ate 12 slices of pizza over the 3 day trip). <br> <br> It was a star ...

... what luck! Thus ensued almost three fascinating hours with my own personal guide. I was especially interested in her discourse about the early people and their (somewhat grizzly) customs and beliefs. Amongst many other things,I learned about their underlying world views regarding life and death, and how this translated into their rituals of sacrifice. I also found out more than I ever wanted to know about the exact nature of the ...

... 1.5 hours each. I love them. The first one is basic things (greetings, numbers, etc.) It was like a review for me. I understood about 98% of what she said. The second one is pronunciation. I was doing great until the "r". I could roll my r's great (the teacher was shocked) but, I was having a problem with my reg. r's and "g" (this weird hacking sound you make in your throat). I thought i ...

... of different stuff in it, but the rest of the family has a very simple one. <br>-The host seats you first, but don't eat until she sits down, unless she says too.<br>- They will feed you till you pop.

Kiss on the right cheek. Maybe a handshake, or both. ( to men and ...

... really a breakfast food person. Here I have had chicken covered in verde Salsa (hot ) for breakfast, or quesadillas with verde salsa. There is always fresh fruit. I have even had a gigantic red poblano pepper stuffed with rice and cheese. It was amazing. <br><br> The sleep schedule is more me too. Too bad soon I should be in the 9 am class. Normally I go to bed ...

Well, God has answered my prayers. I am in Mexico. The airport experience was interesting. My first flight left 30 min. early (I was on it). My second flight, we boarded, and then they made the announcement that they didn't know where the pilots were. lol. As I waited for my third flight, the airline agent calls me up, kinda, he said Heid-L Cockendolpher. he butchered it. Then he wanted to see my passport ...

Wow. I don't even know where to start. My trip here was a bit treacherous. When I landed in the leon airport my hands were shaking so bad I could barely fill out the needed forms at customs. Being awake since 2am that morning, I was about at my wits end due to a day full of tiny jets and turbulence- not to mention almost missing my flight altogether. After making it through customs, I walked out into a small gathering of people ...

Guanajuato has a very similar feel to Zacatecas and is even more beautiful. A small university city, it has narrow streets, lots of small plazas and good museums. Probably a bit more touristy than Zac. but still very charming. Probably the nicest place we've been to in Mexico, so far. We walked all over, just getting lost and enjoying the views.

We heard of a really neat city that was only a few hours bus ride from San Miguel. We decided to check it out and stay for a few days. It is called Guanajuato. The name means place of frogs. It was originally built over the Guanajuato river which flowed through tunnels underneath the city. Later a dam was built and the water was redirected. The tunnels were lit and paved with cobblestone and today are used as an underground road network to navigate the city. This is ...
