... but the Shavers in particular. I've spent a lot of time at the school performing various tasks, but a primary focus was placed on Splash Kingdom. I've also spent a fair amount of time hanging out with my new friends... which in retrospect, is a bit weird for me, since I ...

... chicken and tortillas.All very nice.We had agreat day and would recommend that tour from Nomads Hostel to everyone who visits Merida. Friday was our last day in Merida and indeed Mexico. We started the day with a walking tour of the city which was excellent and after lunch went to the airport and caught our plane to Mexico City where we had a few hours before we got our flight to Lima Peru overnight. I was sad to leave Mexico as we had had a great time there. Sadly we had ...

... da g**ade **zaehlt wird. Mit ein** deutschen Schulklasse dies** Groesse wa**e so etwas unvorstellbar. D** Toepf**meist** zeigt stolz, wie mit primitiven Mitteln in Hoechstgeschwindigkeit ein neu** Krug samt toll** V**zi**ungen entsteht. Er scheint es schon mal gemacht zu haben. Am Freitag, den 20. Ma**z, heisst es dann Abschied nehmen von Oaxaca, denn d** Karneval in V**acruz ruft, und vorh** wollen wir auf dem Weg noch kurz in Puebla, einem Ort suedoestlich von Mexiko Stadt vorbeischauen.

... de Guzman Church we came upon a major aqueduct that apparently was functional until 1942. It was here that we met a mixed group of students of all ages from California who for $2,200 all-inclusive – (flight, family stays with two home cooked meals, courses) were taking a Spanish Language program. Their eagerness and apparent interest in their surroundings reminded me of many summers spent in France taking French courses at various universities throughout the ...

... at midnight since we were there at <br>11:45 when food was still being served). <br> 2 waters and some chips and salsa and we were happy. Of course the initial chips weren't <br>enough so when the waitress took chips off a different table that was done <br>eating, I told her that we would take those. She looked at me like I was crazy but I said 'No problema' <br>and she laughed and put them on our table. Service was slow that night so it was our best bet.

Neal and I had such a great time exploring Monte Alban (http://www.oaxacaoaxaca.com/monte-alba n.htm) outside of Oaxaca the day before we left for Costa Rica. I had been battling a viral infection for a couple weeks so it was a relief to be able to take this trip and finally not feel too sick. Our elementary school education came into question as we approached a ballfield and Neal exclaimed, "There was a picture of this in my 5th ...

... He snored alot and announced he would as soon as he arrived. Svetlana and Jakob, Slovakia: They lived in Chicago for the summer working at a coffee shop. They don´t speak much Spanish (see a pattern?). That´s about it for now, I joined facebook so once these lovely folks upload some pictures, I´ll steal them and you can see who I´m talking about. The people in my new hostel haven´t spoken to me and three out of the 6 of them checked out this morning.

... pretty and mostly worth the hike. At one point I was walking in front and I came out of the trail into an opening and I saw this huge black thing out of the corner of my eye, and I said "OH NO!", but come to find out it was just a random bull laying in the woods. I thought it was a bear for a split second haha but I'm really glad it wasn't! Afterwards we all went home rested and cleaned up and then met up for dinner. We were sitting at dinner laughing because we ...

... I go or leave or never come back! Joking. Its about the size of the rooms at SHV but I also have a little bathroom, all this to myself! Kara stays in the house and Rhonda has a room like mine. So I unpacked and called my mom and now I'm doing this. I keep hearing these things that sound a lot like gunshots or a cannon (I heard a cannon before in the Sam Houston Park), oh no! I have no clue! Its done it about a dozen times. Whatever. Anyway my Spanish is ...

... be good for both of us. Poor Gustavo, who speaks both languages, will have his hands full with the two of us. Weather still PERFECT! Trees and plants are blossoming without the benefit of rain which amazes me. The colors are spectacular. I am, however, ready for the beach. I look forward to that stage of my adventure. Again, thanks for your interest in my travels. Will post again soon. I miss you all more than you know.
