Hotel Boutique La Casa Azul Cuernavaca

... Pell City for so many months! I come all the way to Mexico, just to find one of our old airplanes on its belly on the end of the runway. The dropzone was cool and everyone was nice. We didn't hang out for long though because we wanted to go to Tepoztlan!



Tepoztlan is a cute little city. Probably my favorite place we've been to other than Coyocan and Cuautla. We walked up the streets where everyone had their merchandise out selling for the weekend.

FLUO EST AU MEXIQUE !!

En ce joli Samedi d'Octobre direction la ville voisine de Cuernavaca (1h de Mexico en autobus), dans l'Etat de Morelos. Beaucoup d'habitants du DF (District Federal = ville de Mexico) possèdent une maison secondaire ici où ils viennent passer les week end et les vacances loin du chaos.

La ville est très colorée, il n'y a pas 2 facades de maison de la même couleur ...

... shocked to see her standing up while having the scooter!!!!
So I complained to one of the clerks who basically told me that it wasn't her problem that my mother was on crutches!!!!!
Men, in my country, that is considered pure discrimination!!!!!
Plus I tried to get the store manager's name and it was denied to me!!!! Like if it was confidential!
So be aware of how are you treated while in Cuernavaca, and whatever happens complain, complain and complain again...

... i.e., not as a drug trafficker, cop, or bureaucrat), your greatest threat is the "tourist tax"-being charged $4 by a taxi driver for what should be a $2 ride. In Mexico City, as in any major city in the U.S. or around the world, urban crime is a concern. There are parts of the city best avoided, pickpocketing on the metro does occur, and taxis should be called for ahead of time or picked up at authorized taxi stands rather than hailed on ...

... le plus impressionnant est la pirámide de los Nichos (la pyramide des Niches en français), de taille moyenne avec 6 étages en terrasse. Elle mesure 25 m de haut et possède une base carrée de 35 m de côté. Dans les murs de chaque étage, sont présentes côte à côte de nombreuses niches. Elles sont au nombre de 365.

... a "path" to the bottom of the ravine, which was like jungle brush the way down. Very slippery since it's the wet season and has done so almost every night we've been here. There was a lot of trash and junk at the bottom. Javier said that because it is the rainy season every time they cleaned up, more was washed down by the rain. So this will be an ongoing project. We walked back up. Last week they moved a lot of ...

... Xochicalco where there are old ruin temples so that was exciting and amazing to see. Of course it wasn´t just a free vacation instead we did a lot of learning with speakers and classes but we did have a bonfire one night and with that we had S'MORES!! So that made my day. We returned once again to Cuernavaca for a week of more classes, speakers and Spanish. My Spanish teacher is great really friendly and she was someone who gave us a free salsa ...

... we noticed in this city was the fortress-like, almost medieval architecture of the main historical structures in the city's center. One such building was the Cathedral and Cortez's Castle. In typical conquistador fashion, the latter was built with the same materials and over the ruins of a pre-existing Aztec structure (in this case another pyramid). It was strange to see how this style was used almost exclusively here and nowhere else. I read ...

Today we went to the Olympic Stadium and then a shopping mall and I bought two Billy shirts and ate lunch. Then we came to Our Cabana and played some mixing game, ate supper and sang songs. I played one of their guitars here but it was out of tune so it didn't sound right.
