... house and watched a few minutes of the Up With People DVD as only Edgardo and his daughter, Daniella, were able to come to the show. I said good-bye to his wonderful family as only Edgardo will be taking Ronja and I to the buses tomorrow morning. He will be bringing my host family book and recipes with him.<br><br>And his wife promised that, when I come back to Puebla (not if, when!), she'd show me how to make mole as the ingredients are only available in Mexico.<br><br ...

... children and were part of the "village" that is working to mold them into wonderful people.<br><br>After the last 2 groups, we rode back to our facility for education time and then went back to our host family's home for the night.<br><br>Friday was our performance day. My first performance in Mexico! I was so excited! We had a pretty good crowd and I was able to play 4 songs on the piano as I worked myself back into performing with the cast. They whole ...

... I'm about to become the best aunt ever because this bag will be coming home to you both! Just promise me that you'll save a few pieces for me to keep as souvenirs from Mexico!<br><br>When we returned to our facility (the high school) we had a great lunch and then were given reflection time. I found out that when I was working in Veracruz, the cast organized a meeting and asked to have more time during the day to reflect upon the experiences that UWP brings to us. It was great to ...

... especially if im wearing the old bonds bluey singlet! On the way to Puebla we passed some huge mountain ranges, and a huge volcano that apparently gets snow on it at certain times of the year. Snow in Mexico, who would have thought! Once we arrive in Puebla, I called Mariana who we were going to be staying with for the next few days. She was still working, so we decided to wait at the bus terminal for her to come out and collect us after work. Less chance of getting ...

... was Puebla de Antano Hotel, 3 Oriente No. 206, Tel: 01 (222) 246-2403, 01 (800) 0128219. This small hotel is housed in a fine period building and is hard to imagine that up until recently was lived in by a family of five. The hotel has only been open for 3 weeks and benefits from a superb location just off the Zocalo. The few spacious rooms that they offer are each different in shape and size and come with lovely period ...

DAY 6 - Route East to Mexico's famous city of Puebla! The doctor wasn't wrong when he said the antibiotics were the best you could get and worked immediately, feeling weary but a lot better we decided to chance our luck and catch the bus to Pueblo! Called the 'City of Angels,' Puebla is one of Mexico's most famous cities within this state due to its colonial architecture and facades of Talavera tiles plus 365 churches, one for each day apparently ...

... have gone on forever, even though it is not possible it appeard that way. I would have missed it if Lili hadn't pointed it out to me because i was busy being amazed by a much smaller one that went down. Being in the pyramid was really cool for me, and unlike anything i've ever seen before. And it was extra cool because Lili had never been inside herself, so we both experienced it for the first time together, which was cool ...

... very hard. Lili's brother even climbed/or ran up the wall to catch and return the ball without falling. My guess is you will need to see the pictures to understand the game. I had difficulty at first even when i was there watching it. Today we also went downtown to see the "alters" for The Day of the Dead. This was very interesting also. Each alter is in honor of someone who has passed, usually a relative or famous person. There are ...

... with them a greater appreciation of the cultural vibrancy of Mexico. And now... perhaps the moment you've all been waiting for... the winner of the luchador contest is Lou Kaucic with the name: Torture-tilla Lou wins a mask of Mistico, the most famous Luchador in Mexico, we´ll send it as soon as we get back to the states. Other honorable ...

... at Oaxaca to visit the famous Monte Alban city. The bus journey took us through valleys of cacti and when I arrived at Oaxaca I was not disappointed. The state of Oaxaca is where the drink called Mezcal comes from. This is probably more popular amoung Mexicans than Tequila. And this is where the worm was originally introduced. Oaxaca also prides itself on the local delicacy - chapulinas or fried grasshoppers. I must admit they were quite tasty, but the worm was more filling ...
