Hotel Puebla Plaza

... On a Sunday. While people were worshipping.<br><br>But my host brother said it was common. So, I took some pictures.<br><br>And then he took me to see the body of Saint Francisco.<br><br>Yup, his actual body. I didn't take a picture of that. But wow! What an experience, huh?<br><br>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 ...

... away from me!<br><br>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. <br><br>We actually got some smiles! And laughs! It was so awesome!<br ...

... paper container, and places a piece of paper - similar to a placemat - on the tray. How much of this is thrown away?<br><br>All of it.<br><br>I wonder what McDonalds would do if 90 students came in, requesting that their burgers and fries be put on plates. Pretty cool think about, huh?<br><br>Concordia recently did something similar by going completely trayless - as in they don't use trays anymore as they are unnecessary and save on energy and water consumption. My boyfriend, Matt, and ...

... explaining pointless things like Ladette to Lady and Gordan Ramsey to them, with Brendan doing the voices! We said goodbye to Luz, Marianas friend and our tour guide for the day and headed off to a small town called Tonantzintla to see a church that is unique because its decorated in figures of an indigenous nature, and not european or spanish looking people like all the other churches. We met Marianas sister here, and she took us out to an observatory where she ...

Accommodation <br><br>Whilst here I stayed at Hotel Reforma 2000, 4 Poniente No. 916, on the corner of 11 Norte, Tel. 01 (222) 242 3363, Web: www.hotelreforma2000.com .

... Spanish out some more with the little old Mexican lady that ran it. The shower in our room consisted of a pipe out the wall but despite the basicness of it all it had a real ancient charm to it, very European in style. Heading out into the main Zocalo of Pueblo, it was just beautiful! Trees and striking coloured cafes lined the square, an ancient cathedral dominated one side and a beautiful English Elizabethan style building designed by an ...

... shirt for a skirt or pants she has or a dress. We did not have any luck. We found a few shirts that looked nice on the hanger but not on and a very promising dress, kindof chineese looking but they did not have her size and the one that was a little big looked funny. She ended up wearing a long kindof fuzzy-like tan skirt and black shirt that looked very nice. It looked very nice and fit well with what others were wearing, except a few in ...

... said he was going to rent a movie and have his girlfriend over to watch it. He said if i wanted I could come with him to blockbuster to help pick one out. I figured i would go along but they would pick it out, maybe i give some imput but not pick it toally on my own...you know me and my indecisiveness. But they were pretty persistent, and i didn't want to pick even more because he used to work there so he had seen almost every movie ...

... over 5000m in height. It took me a while to get a view as I took a bus which deposited me some distance away and because no Mexican would go looking for a view of Popo for fun so they weren´t that good at directions. But when it did come into view, it was awe inspiring rising up behind the city of Puebla on a much larger scale than anything in Scotland (unfortunately, my pictures don´t do the view justice). Satisfied I headed back to the hotel to get the ...

... throne and a green sacrificial statue. Finally I arrived on the Caribbean coast at Tulum. This would be my final Mayan ruin and set against the turquiose waters it is quite a sight. Was now coming up to Christmas so what a better place to relax than a Cabana on the Caribbean. After 4 days of lethargy on the beaches I decided to get organised for my next destination. Cuba apparrantly is quite lively so will be making my way there for New Years.... Until next time wishing you all a Happy New Year !!!
