El Sueno Hotel And Spa Puebla

... back some day :)

What a wonderful way to spend the final day in Puebla! Tomorrow we head to Mexico City, the final city on our Mexican tour. We are stopping at the President's estate on the way! We received an official invitation to visit. What an honor!

Better get some beauty sleep before meeting the President of Mexico!

Cross your fingers that I will have internet tomorrow so that these blogs can continue :)

Much love,
Megan

... welcomed me back and it felt great to be on stage again :)

Okay! It's 10:45 a.m. and I need to finish getting ready. Our host dad, Edgardo, will be here soon to take Ronja and I to some see some ancient ruins and Mexican pyramids. I'm so excited! We actually get to walk in the pyramids!

I'll write another blog tonight when I get home. Off to Mexico City tomorrow... our last city before Europe!

Blessings :)

... Up With People in Spanish) did a promotional spot in Mexico City last week while the rest of the cast traveled to Veracruz. It was awesome and, since "TV de la Noche" is a hit nightly television show, it will hopefully bring some positive buzz and great ticket sales for our Puebla show!


Another great day was had on Wednesday. It was our first community impact day in Puebla. Myself along with Lynsie (CA), Lindsey (AZ), and Coy (CO) traveled to a local shelter to ...

... typisch fuer Oaxaca und Puebla, in gleich drei Varianten probieren koennen. Sie wird ziemlich kompliziert hergestellt mit bis zu 17 verschiedenen Zutaten, unter anderem Kakao, Nuesse und Chili. Mole ist eben nicht einfach irgendeine Sosse, sondern bildet den Hauptbestandteil des Essens und schmeckt wirklich nicht schlecht, aber unsere Lieblingsspeise wird es wohl nicht werden. So ist unser Tag in Publa auch schon vorueber und wir ziehen weiter nach Veracruz.

Le centre de la ville est inscrit au patrimoine de l'UNESCO pour sa très belle architecture coloniale, dont la magnifique cathédrale.

Gastronomiquement, Puebla est réputée pour être la ville d'origine du mole y les chiles en nogada.

Okay, so there´s no pebbles here..... but it was the first thing I thought. Actually, this exciting, bustling little town of perhaps a couple of million, is very charming. The food is good, there´s handicrafts for days - the local specialty is a type of pottery which is quite beautiful. We got in this morning after a 2 hour bus ride from Mexico City. The convoy of taxis to the bus terminal before and after the trip was a ...

... dead, the only thing that can not be recaptured do have at the least good thumbnails, they are small (and turn funny when you open them) but are much better than nothing. I really have handled this situation much better than i would have expected...but i think it is okay, i am glad we had not begun traveling, because we should be able to spend a day downtown to recap most all of the major things that were lost. and maybe i am still holding out hope to get the originals back also.

... something that's like a sandwich. I actually liked the
taste of that sandwich :) I think we didn't quite enjoy the breakfast
as it was so hard to communicate with them plus the waiting time was
way too long. During the waiting, I drew a little girl picture and
happy new year in Spanish and Chinese on a napkin and gave it to a
little girl sitting next to me. She turned around and looked at us the

... quite prosperous suburb. It was interesting to see the difference between the centre of the city where we had been based and these huge houses with gates and armed guards on the corners! Thats about it from Mexico City. On Thursday we´re off to the southern Mexican town of Oaxaca about 500kms from Mexico City where we hope the air will be cleaner and a bit thicker! PS Brendan - the Coronas are about $2 each and are even better then the ones at home!
