Boulevard Solidaridad #15452, Ejido Lo De Juarez Irapuato, Central Mexico and Gulf Coast, Mexico, 52-462-6359700
... a Primera Plus express bus that was leaving in ten minutes. I felt very smooth!
As seems to be my lot in life, there was a young man firmly ensconced in my window seat; this time, happily clicking his pointy, white shoes together on the foot rest. Instead of looking for the conductor as I would have done in other times, I just (with gestures) told the said young man that he was in my seat. He protested at first but I remained firm and eventually moved over ...
... and during- parties! All of this was in one of the most gorgeous cities ve ever been in, replete with cobblestone streets, winding allies, epic stone staircases and even more epic churches, beautiful pastel-colored houses, endless street markets, and, unexpectedly, dozens of roadside pizza stands (in reviewing the weekend, I think I ate 12 slices of pizza over the 3 day trip).
It was a star ...
I touched down in Leon exactly on time (11:07 pm). The first person I encountered as I stepped off the plane onto the tarmac was a uniformed man in a balaclava, bristling with guns. We didn't exchange pleasantries.
My Mexican amigo (via Sally), Daniel, was waiting for me inside the terminal. How wonderful to have a local to pick me up at such a late hour! He took me to his family's little country house in an enormous estate not far from ...
... and Tuesday I have culture class. I love it. The teacher knew I was new and didn't know much, so he was very animated. He knows some English. He was asking the class how to say these two words in English so I would understand (because he thought i didn't). Out of everyone (who were all on a higher lever) I knew both words. He was shocked. It was awesome. I pick up on the most random things.
Guanajuato, Central Mexico and Gulf Coast, Mexico heidishappening... seem to always be on the streets. No matter the time of day. They seem to go to bed around 2-4 am. and wake up around 10. It is weird to walk around at night and see so many people.
- There are dumpsters around to put trash in ( they don't come door to door). But, in the center of town a man will walk about a block in front of the trash truck ringing a bell. This is to let everyone inside know that the truck is coming and they have the ...
... It's been crazy here! We had our woman's Bible study tonight, and I did an "impromptu" lesson with the kids. When we went back to the kids room, we found it completely flooded along, the door flung open from the wind. There was even a bird who joined us, apparently didn't want to be out in the rain so he let himself in. (Let me say it was quite a job luring him to go back outside...that was the ...
Irapuato, Central Mexico and Gulf Coast, Mexico julievan... her accent was so thick. But, if that's what English teachers there sound like, I imagine that's similar to how I sound to all the people here, when I speak Spanish.
Well, it's been a slow week since then...I'm teaching English 3 times a week to kids in the church. It's difficult with limited materials, a large range of ages, and the difficulty of expressing to the kids what i need them to do.
Well, the food ...
... En effet, environ 10 km de routes ont été creusé à même le sous-sol de la ville, formant un véritable Gruyère. Comme Guanajuato est située dans une cuvette qu'elle occupe entièrement, il n'y a plus d'espace pour aménager des routes et ainsi résoudre les problèmes criant de circulation. Les autorités ont donc choisi de creuser des ''tunnels''. Au sortir du tunnel, nous atteignons, le centre-ville précisément en face de l'église San Diego o ...
Guanajuato, Mexico bogit... de source sûre, qu'après le 5 à 7 et quelques verres de champagne... et... la noirceur aidant... que le caravanier No 6 a fait cuire des hamburgers sur le BBQ. Après avoir ajouté les condiments... et dès la première bouchée, il a vu que quelque chose n'allait pas... il avait oublié d'enlever le papier autour des boulettes de viande hachée... Comment se fait-il que le papier n'ait pas brûlé...? Mais, il ne fallait pas le dire... à personne. ¡Buenas Noches!
Guanajuato, Mexico bogit... to his back as protection against bullets and then crawl to the door. Pipila walked with a heavy piece of stone on his back and a torch in his hand he slowly crawled under enemy fire until he finally reached the door and with his last forces set fire to the door made of wood allowing the Insurgent Army to enter the building and claiming the first victory of the struggle for independence of the country that is now known as Mexico. There is also a ...
