Posada San Pedro Puebla

... Mexican restaurant for dinner.

And as we pulled up, it started to rain. Violently!

Edgardo ordered almost everything on the menu for Ronja and I. He ordered 4 different types of chalupas, a small tostada with meat (pork or chicken) and salsa. We had chalupas con salsa verde (green salsa), chalupas con picante (red salsa), chalupas sin salsa (without salsa) and chalupas con frijoles (with beans).

And I had a few bottles - glass bottles, not plastic! - of ...

... I was very nervous as I was the main communicator due to my Spanish background. I think I did okay :) At least I hope I did!

After 4 groups of children, we took a break for lunch. Because UWP provides our lunches, I had no intention of eating.

Until 3 little boys with baskets straight out of the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale came up to me, offering me different types of tortillas.

How was I supposed to say no?

In other words, I ...

... candy - and will keep them as either souvenirs or as treats for my adorable niece and nephew. Again, best aunt award :)


Our second challenge is to buy a plate and utensils to use each day. This is difficult right now because our lunches come in styrofoam containers. However there are some days in which we dish out our lunches. On those days, we will use our plates and silverware instead of making waste and then wash the plates and utensils after using them. What ...

... was fine and went off to bed. 7th April We were woken to some very angry sort of talk in spanish, and some plunging. Turns out my **** hadnt gone down, and now Marianas mum was plunging the huge poo of her western guests. Brendan and I stayed in bed a little longer that morning, scared and embarrassed to get up! We headed out to the bus termial to get out tickets to Oaxaca. Being semana santa, we had to book in advance! After which we headed into Puebla for a look ...

... right into the firing line of a pigeon of sorts and with that we headed back to the hotel to wash my head, yuk! The freezing cold shower didn't help either but it was probably in good timing as suddenly the heavens opened and the glass roof of the hostel crashed loudly with the usual early evening storm. On becoming pigeon poo free, we then headed back to the square and sampled the local enchilada dish (well it could have been anything ...

...

Today a met Liliana, another very good friend if Lili´s. She just arrived home from working in Spain. She was very nice and friendly. We spent the morning touring different sites around town and the afternoon with her family. After visiting with her family at her aunts house and going out for coffee we went to a small restaraunt and ate melotés. This was my second experience with them, i liked them but they were better at the ¨booth food¨place. Places we visited in the morning ...

I took Dane to see where I called home when I lived in Mexico. We spent some time in colonial Puebla where I worked and in Cholula, a smaller town just outside of Puebla, where I lived. It was very exciting to see familiar places and to share them with him. Again, sorry so short.

... It had really steep steps but gave a great view along the Avenue of the Dead. We also climbed part way up the Pyramid of the Sun, but not all the way as we were a bit tired! After the climbing we were taken inside one of the pyramids where Gorilla performed a meditation ceremony that was quite interesting and very peaceful. Our final experience was by the Temple of the Serpent where Gorilla and his ...
