... due to its age. <br><br>As we walked through the market, we went by a park that had a bunch of those battery-operated cars that little kids can drive. They were just sitting there.... waiting to be used.<br><br>Camden and Hallie would have been in heaven!<br><br>After the market, we visited some absolutely beautiful churches in Puebla. Wow. They were so beautiful. One of the churches that we visited was of Saint Francisco. I felt a little obtrusive taking pictures of the ...

... issue or the other. The issues were fairly simple and designed for young children: Do you help around the house? Do you like to be active? <br><br>We first arrived at the school, called La Ciudad de los Hereos (The City of the Heroes) and were greeted by the popular cartoon characters I mentioned in my last post. They serve as role models for children. We met our helper and aid, Juan Carlos, and went into our classroom. It was a colorful classroom with bean bags ...

... containers. However there are some days in which we dish out our lunches. On those days, we will use our plates and silverware instead of making waste and then wash the plates and utensils after using them. What a great challenge!<br><br>Annie (Arkansas) brought up the idea that this challenge does not have to stop with just UWP lunches. Many times on travel days we all stop to eat at a fast food restaurant. McDonalds, for example, wraps the burger in paper, puts the fries in ...

... 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.

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 to e*t, but when I returned to the hostel, news st*rted to filter through of violent cl*shes with police - especi*lly through M*ris* - on the front line *s usu*l - who w*s g*ssed four times, *ll the while t*king notes!

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

... as it wasn´t quite so harsh on the throat! The next day we took the metro (a very scary experience but cheap! Only 2 pesos - about 25c a ride!) out to the southern suburb of Coyoacan where Frida Kahlo and Diego Riveria lived. The musuem we saw was the house Frida was born and died in. It was interesting to see her paintings - also interesting was her ashes and the original back brace she wore for years! We then wondered around the streets of this ...
