Nous pensons les retrouver sur les sublimes marches de Oaxaca...a suivre. Dégustation de la specialite locale par Maxime: La Pizza au Mole...espece de sauce de piment noir.

... While people were worshipping.
But my host brother said it was common. So, I took some pictures.
And then he took me to see the body of Saint Francisco.
Yup, his actual body. I didn't take a picture of that. But wow! What an experience, huh?
We visited a few more markets (I bought a beautiful scarf for about $6 USD) and then went to pick up the rest of the family. Edgardo and his family (his wife and 3 children) took Ronja and I to their ...

After the first group left, we talked about what had happened during the first 20 minutes and what we could have done better. We felt that we had started off too strong, playing such a difficult game right away. We decided to start the next session with a game: The "Go Bananas" game. This is a game that we first learned to play at the elementary school in Chino Valley.
We actually got some smiles! And laughs! It was so awesome!

... women learn to bake.
Or we thought that was our plan.
Instead, THEY TAUGHT US TO BAKE.
We baked a typical Spanish dessert called "Pastel Tres Leches de Pina Colada" which is a cake made from 3 kinds of milk and tastes like a pina colada.
It was so wonderful and so fun to make! We had a great time interacting with the women there. One of them even went a bought us gorditas - a typical Mexican snack - to eat while the cake baked ...
After another day of rest at the soap factory, we headed over to Iztaccihuatl (the sleeping woman) (17,342 feet). Izta is the third highest mountain in Mexico and the seventh highest in North America. It sits right next to Popocatepetl (Popo), the second highest mountain in Mexico (Orizaba is obviously the highest). Popo is a smoking, active, and cone-shaped volcano. Izta, on the other hand, is one of the ...
Puebla, Central Mexico and Gulf Coast, Mexico jwmolesPuebla is a 2,5 million city and you can really notice it very fast. Crowds of people, cars and smell of old buses. Well, but it is worth to go, because 8 km from Puebla, in a village Cholula, there is the second largest pyramide in the world ...

We walked through a mall next to it and mom bought an expensive contact lens solution at Optical. Pollo and I enjoyed frappuccino outside the Italian Coffee Company. It was windy but the sky was gorgeous as ...
Puebla, Central Mexico and Gulf Coast, Mexico astre... a few pics and off we go to find our camp for the night. We eventually find the trailer park after much driving around it. It is secluded and there are no signs, as usual ! We set up camp and find we have a WiFi connection so hopefully we get a message from Minion. Later on it comes and we are invited for a tour of the Volkswagen plant at 12 noon. Cool ! Morning comes and we find it quite chilly. So much for the way too hot Playas of the West coast. We are ...
