Fiesta Inn Veracruz Boca D Rio

Me and my bag have had some issues and it decided to go on a little trip on its´own for 19 hours! It went down to the state of Oxacala, which i hear is quite nice this time of year. My bag seemed to enjoy it and came and joined me in Veracruz the next morning. I was rather ****** off though as it went without letting me know and the poor quality of my Spanish came to light when i was ...

Good morning! The sun in shining in Veracruz and I have finished packing. Today we leave for Puebla and I'm saddened to hear that the drive is only about 3 hours long. I wish it was more as I could greatly use the sleep but c'est la vie! I'll get what I can!<br><br>Last night we performed for a crowd of over 300 people and what a receptive audience they were. It seemed small since the venue we were in held almost 4,000 people, but this crowd definitely made ...

... had experienced some heavy storms over the night and the jungle was not safe for anyone. Instead we went to a senior citizen's center in Xalapa and sang for them. After a singing a few songs, we had a dance party! It was some of the most fun I've ever had! When we first entered the center and were told about having a dance party, I have to say I was skeptical. The people did not seem to be in any mood to dance and were content on just watching us.<br><br>However, when the music ...

... Corn Flakes cereal, not Crispix. Crispix is not available in Mexico and, I have to admit, Corn Flakes works just as well! They really liked the dessert ("postre" in Spanish) but I think it was pretty rich for them! It seems that Mexican desserts don't include very much chocolate and sugar so I'm sure that puppy chow was a big surprise! <br><br>Monday was quite the frantic day as it was the cast's arrival day in Veracruz. The day was spent making ...

Hi friends :)<br><br>Just wanted to wish you all a fabulous Wednesday! I've had a crazy 3 days here as we were prepping for the cast's arrival on Sunday and Monday, the cast arrived on Monday, and today was our first full day with the cast as well as Mexican Independence Day! I started a blog tonight but need to get up early tomorrow as we are going to the beach! I'll be sure to finish tomorrow!<br><br>I hope you all are well :)<br><br>Hugs,<br>Megan<br>

... was a getaway, a vacation from reality. However, the minute I walked into our house for dinner, the dreadful news broadcast glared back at me from the television in our kitchen. We didn't usually watch television during dinner; we liked to eat at the table and talk about our day. That week however, sitting at the counter top, watching the television at all times seemed mandatory. <br><br>I hope you all took time to remember the victims of 9/11 yesterday and to say a special prayer ...

... very serious about our work but we also have lots of fun!  <br><br>We were fortunate to talk to the Secretary of Economic Development for the state of Veracruz; basically the governor's right-hand man! He assured us that we will have enough funds to cover our marketing ideas and that we will have lunch prepared for the cast each day that they arrive. That was great news :)<br><br>It was a bit slower in the afternoon. I worked on ...

... tells him "build me a church on this hill." So he goes and tells the priest "I saw Mary and she wants a church." The priest (a Spaniard, of course!) doesn´t believe him (of course, he´s lucky the inquisition wasn´t ongoing or some ¨pain purification¨would have been in his future). So he continues on with his simple life but encounters Mary yet a second time who tells him to gather roses and go back to the priest. He does this, (not ...

... it just takes as long as it takes in reality. After drinking in a bar one night the boss told me we would be at breakfast at six thirty the next morning. I grudgingly drug myself to breakfast at six thirty only to drink coffee until about 8 o´clock when the rest of the crew arrived. You can be stopped at any point in time on any road in Mexico by a military checkpoint, they can search your car without warrant looking for drugs. Who says Mexicans aren´t fighting trafficking, we´ve ...

... big cities much then, nor could I handle them very well. I still don&#8217;t like them much, though I can handle them much better now. Veracruz is pretty large itself, but laid-back. But it&#8217;s hot, the summer coming on fast in the tropics. I make tracks up north, next stop Tampico.
