... of Coca-Cola nearby, just in case.<br><br>Carman, Coca-Cola is everywhere here! It's a city meant for you! :)<br><br>Then I had mole con arroz. Mole is a typical Mexican sauce (somewhat like gravy). It's like a sweetened gravy and, according to my host mom, has chocolate and bananas in it too! I had mole with Spanish rice rolled into a tortilla.<br><br>And another bottle of Coca-Cola.<br><br>And for dessert, strawberry meringue! Wonderful :)<br><br>We headed back to ...

... not eat lunch with UWP that day.<br><br>It was such a blessing to meet these different families, converse with them, meet their children, and of course, savor some of their delicious cooking!<br><br>I felt like Wei, Yunjie, Sarah and I had a small role in those children's lives. It may have been the first time either of those children had met someone from a different country (at least from China!). Nevertheless, I really felt like the 3 of us made an impact on ...

... an actually moat!<br><br>After our great tour, we went to the chiclet factory in Puebla! Cadbury owns the rights to chicklet gum and other gum such as Trident and Dentyne Ice. In fact the Trident and Dentyne Ice in your purse was made in Puebla as all Cadbury gum is made in Puebla. We saw how the gum is produced and were given great give-aways - bags full of Cadbury gum and candy including bubble gum suckers covered with chile! I assure you, it's delicious!<br><br>Dear Camden and ...

... the way to Cuernavaca, where we were meant to change buses to get to Puebla. Once we got to Cuernavaca, we thought we had f*cked up as there were no buses to Puebla. After some questions in my ********** spanish, we were told to get a taxi to another termial in the town. Once we got there, one of the cutest Mexican women Ive seen so far helped us get our tickets and get on the bus. Mexican girls seem to love foreign guys, and we get starred at whenever we are walking ...

... Lonely Planet describes, but it's a shame there prices are 100 peso out. The current rates are 350 + 450 peso for 1 or 2 persons and not the 260 + 350 that Lonely Planet states. A room with 2 beds you're looking at 570 peso for 2 persons. At the end of the day, the rooms are simple and well overpriced especially when you see what else is around. <br><br>At the top end Puebla offers some fine boutique accommodation. <br><br>My ...

... One day we visited the Africam safari which was good fun and something different for a change. Almost every day it poured with rain in the afternoon and so we took shelter in the hotel or cafes. We also tried the famous Pueblan dish ´chiles en nogada´which is a jalapeno pepper stuffed with chicken and walnuts, covered in a creamy walnut sauce and pomegranates. Sounds a bit strange, but it tasted good!

... of the hallways that have been excavated. i say small in relation to the size of the thing, it was a good distance but tiny comparativly. We walked all on the same level as we entered at ground level. We looked down many hallways that were gated off and also many, some quite large, staircases that went both up and down and lead to more hallways or rooms. One went up farther than we could see, it faded into the darkness like it ...

... for it to be good. If it bounces in the basket or falls the other team gets a point or if the other team makes a good "pass" and you miss it or it was fair but impossible to get, they get a point. Play goes to about 24 points. I was very impressed by this sport because the ball is quite hard and travels very fast. I saw many difficult moves that were fair but impossible to return, players jumped up and hit the ground (concreate ...

... Santiago (All of us): Well, we are concluding our classes with internet lessons. We've created email accounts for each of the class members, and hope to keep in touch with all of them this way. More valuable than the classes themselves, was our ability to get to know each of these adults. We had dinner with them several times, and these events ...

... my new Argentinian friend Gervasio. He used to be a lawyer (a family tradition) but realised after a few years that he was not meant for it. He now is a freelance translator with a passion for literature and music (esp. Beatles). We had many interesting conversations on Happiness being a warm gun - "You see Joey happiness is a paradox. When you are happy you are comfortable. Therefore it is a warm gun." Absolutely. After Puebla I started to head for the Pacific beaches, but first ...
