Morelia,
Mexico
Tuesday, April 4, 2006
I've met some great people mainly from France and Mexico. They all help me with my Spanish as my classes really weren't very good, but I'm definitely improving.
Morelia is a great city with so much to do. My friend showed me round and we saw lots of cathedrals, a great sweet market and I tried some unusual food including cheese ice cream and sweet corn ice cream! Both were gross! I also had gaspachos which is fruit like papaya, watermelon and mango chopped up in orange juice which sounds great however then they pour on chilli sauce then sprinkle on cheese and then chilli flakes. It was surprisingly nice but I couldn't eat too much.
On Sunday a friend took a few of us rock climbing. It was an awesome place we went to with a little river and waterfall
Cascada
. I was a wimp and didn't climb too high because I hate heights but it was a great day although I did get bitten by mosquitoes quite a bit.My friends took me to a place where you can look out over the whole city and it looks amazing with mountains in the background.
We also went to a open air jazz concert which was in the grounds of an old building. It was a great concert although I was still a little jet lagged.
I had a funny experience with a taxi driver. We were just talking, in Spanish I might add proving that I am improving, and he asked if he could take my picture on his phone. Being me and never camera shy (plus I couldn't do much else but smile) I agreed but then as we were driving he kept doing it. He was sweet though and not creepy so it was funny.
Anyway I will try to attach some pictures now, I've bought help with me so hopefully it will work.
I'm not sure if I will be able to get to a computer in the next 3 weeks but will try.
