They both spoke english and one was actually and english teacher so we hung out with them most of the night, before they dropped us home later in the night. I was pretty sure we were in, but I think the other girl cracked it when she found out Brendan had a girlfriend and was only being friendly, where as i had other ideas!

Dozens of them put-putted around the steep streets in the little neighborhood incessantly, and the overall effect was like being caught in a life-size Pac-Man game. We headed off to see a local attraction, some really big caves outside of town whose name escapes me but start with C, but they were pretty cool. The guide spoke ...

Today we (Lili, Liliana, &amp; myself) visited Taxco. It was a 4 hour trip by bus. We left the house at about 7:10, the bus left at 8:05 and we arrived around noon.
