... 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.

... 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 ...

Hello from Puebla, Mexico!<br><br>What a beautiful city. I absolutely love it here and am having a fabulous time. I am so excited to tell you all about it!<br><br>I must first apologize, however.

Thus, at times, writing in my blog falls a few spaces on my priority list.<br><br>But you get ...

... us lots more spanish, and helped us try some fantasic Mexican food. I dont think we could have had a better time than we did in Puebla, and I certainly havent been that relaxed or laughed that *************g long time. Final thoughts on Puebla and Cholula Awesome food Beautiful, relaxing, slow paced towns Best host ever, basically a personal tour guide and translator for the whole time we were there Most relaxed ive ever been, enjoying the latin life style, slower pace ...

... 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 ...

Our Mexican friends came to visit that evening and along with a great reunion provided lots of information for sight seeing.

Lili´s mom left very early this morning for Honduras, to be with Angeles as she prepares to have the baby.  Very early...loke 3 a.m. because she was flying out of Mexico City.  Today we went touring around downtown.  We went back to the San Francisco Cathedral (where we attended mass last week) to get better pictures in the daylight. And to the mall where we went to see the movie the same day last week.  I did not realize the first time we went that this mall is ...

... mine and daves blonde hair alerted a clown giving a performance to the fact we were foreign. Naturally Dave became part of the show. He was given a balloon sword and made to fight with the clown (to the death) over a mexican girl, in a rendition of Romeo and Juliet (of sorts).
