Fiesta Inn Veracruz Centro

... and i had a rewarding day exploring it. It was the place where the Spanish entered Mexico and became their first settlement, so lots of history. Wandered around a fort, went to see some manatees in an aquarium (they weren´t there) and got chatting to a local historian at the Museum. It was a nice little spot to break up my journey, but i have got my first overnight bus tonight!<br><br>

... and proud of my cast. They did a phenomenal job. I can't wait to do it again in Puebla.<br><br>I'm making this short as I have to leave for the buses soon but I'm posting some of the pictures that I took last night :) Hopefully in Puebla or Mexico City - our final stop before Europe - I'll be able to find someone to record one of my songs and I'll post it on here as well.<br><br>Take care all! See you in Puebla (hopefully with Internet!)<br><br>Love, Megan<br>

Host Family Day in Veracruz!<br><br>I am sitting in the living room of my host family's house, drinking freshly-squeezed orange juice, and enjoying this relaxing day. I will need to start packing as we leave for Puebla, Mexico on Monday! I am going to miss this family and this town so very much but am anxious to keep traveling and experience two more cities on Mexico (Puebla and Mexico City) before leaving for Europe on October 5!<br><br>I cannot express enough how truly wonderful ...

... pulled up at the USBI and I think I hugged every single one of them! <br><br>Tuesday, also Mexico's Independence Day, was the cast's first full day in Veracruz and our first Regional Learning day. We first traveled to the local aquarium, the largest aquarium in the Latin Americas! It was such a great trip and I was so excited for the cast! I could see excitement in their eyes and hear enthusiasm in their voices. They were having a great time as ...

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>

... trip in November? Now, I seem to be constantly living in the past. I read old blog entries from 2 yeas ago. I look at pictures from the past 4 years. I desperately attempt to reconnect with that person that I sat next to during my first class as a college freshman. I allow myself too much time to think about Concordia.<br><br>It never really occurred to me that, while I sometimes wish that I was still at school, friends at Concordia wish that they were in Veracruz. Across the ...

... know, I am having quite a hard time letting go of the fact that I will not be attending any classes tomorrow or watching the new freshman on Olin Hill as they throw their beanies up in the air. Concordia played host to the best years of my life so far and many of my best friends will be starting school again tomorrow. To cope with my Cobber withdrawl, I am dedicating tomorrow's post to Concordia and the four glorious years that I ...

... and drink. Not the case in Mexico!! This isn´t just a holiday though, it´s something embraced by the entire country of Mexico! Kids have torch relays down the interstate in a pilgrimage to Mexico City (seriously, the interstate. We dodged the little psychos on our whole drive here), old women walk hundreds of miles for their pilgrimage carrying shrines (yes, in order to be a good catholic you must suffer), ¨Mary¨celebrations go on ...

... 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.
