... of Coca-Cola nearby, just in case.<br><br>Carman, Coca-Cola is everywhere here! It's a city meant for you! :)<br><br>Then I had mole con arroz.

... looked around the hill top and descended. Pollo and I walked around in the <br>midlevel of the hill to see the view of the city. We came across a fallen <br>tree which I found interesting.
