... due to its age. <br><br>As we walked through the market, we went by a park that had a bunch of those battery-operated cars that little kids can drive. They were just sitting there.... waiting to be used.<br><br>Camden and Hallie would have been in heaven!<br><br>After the market, we visited some absolutely beautiful churches in Puebla. Wow. They were so beautiful. One of the churches that we visited was of Saint Francisco. I felt a little obtrusive taking pictures of the ...

... story books, stuffed animals, and positive words on the walls; a perfect place to teach!<br><br>Our first group was brought in at 10:30 a.m. and we started right away with the activity. We asked 6 questions, asked them to "take a stand" and then talked about each question.<br><br>Apparently we had gone about this the wrong way. I'm not sure anyone in our first group said a word. They looked very scared and when I tried to give one little boy a high five, he ...

... 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 a great challenge!<br><br>Annie (Arkansas) brought up the idea that this challenge does not have to stop with just UWP lunches. Many times on travel days we all stop to eat at a fast food restaurant. McDonalds, for example, wraps the burger in paper, puts the fries in ...

... hats out! Little did we know the girls had run off to ask a staff member at the site to come and get them. The guy came over, and didnt look too pleased with out efforts. We had lunch and coffee whilst getting some spanish lessons. Brendan thought the phrase: donde esta mi amigo gato would be useful during the trip, so he got that down pat!

... eruption in 500 years and literally blew its crater lid sky high, now noone is able to climb it or even go within a 12km radius of it due to its activity, have to knock that one off the target list for now. We were so lucky though to see them and have such a clear day, what a 2 hour journey this had been, Mexico just gets better and better. Arriving into Puebla, we found a quaint little cheap hostel called Victoria where Ads had fun trying ...

... here on the computer and she/he just wondered in so i petted her, which i have done safely from the other side of the fense before, and it was just fine...and look she is back again...i pet her agian...and now she has layed down next to my chair. I wonder if i should coax her back downstairs to eat...but maybe if i get up that will not be good.) So anyway, we (Lili, Paco, and I) went to the big mall to look for an outfit for Lili, either ...

... voted in the days following the election. (lengthy shower at the Britania) Today we also went to Lili's aunts house for dinner, it was good. There was vegetable soup and chicken with sauce. i was worried because i was not sure how spicey it would be because at home if something is spicey they make some seperate without the spicey.

Mexico is very cheap. Tuesday 10th July I got up early to go to the hillside Cerro de Guadeloupe in order to see Popocatopetl (which I only did because Ian Morton, that Munro Tamer mentioned it in his e-mail) - this still active volcano which ...

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.
