Tulum.
Cancun.
Chichen Itzá.

Conclusions:
Tulum is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.
Cancun is part of the United States.
Chichen Itzá is not as cool as Teotihuacan,

So many words that I don't feel like typing.
But long story short, if there is one thing I love Puebla for it's the lack of harassment. I just don't understand who told these people that if you harass women they'll buy your products...

Love y'all

18 hours

ON A BUS.
looking cute, don't worry.
more comprehensive summary of the weirdest week of my life to come.

foods are different in mexico.

beans in a box.
that is all.

I don't wanna blog right now. But I am alive, and here are some pictures from Oaxaca.

Update: many toilets in Mexico are still without seats.

radioactive.

So. Conclusion number one - Veracruz is one of the more trashy destinations in Mexico. But let me tell you, it was great to dip my body into the great Atlantic. I've missed that guy.

Funniest moment? Walking to the water with Zoe on day 2, about an hour into our lazing in the sun.
Lifeguard: Ummm, can I talk to you for a second?
Me: Sure
Lifeguard: It's just that... well, you are very burned and that is very dangerous for your type of skin.

I live in the frozen tundra that is Vermont and I am not ashamed. Just let me tomar some sol!!

I think equally hilarious, however, was an interaction we had with one of the more annoying beach vendors. He first asked if Zoe was from China and proceeded to explain that he thought this because her eyes were slanty, which he demonstrated for us on his own face. Not politically incorrect at all. And then proceeded to try to sell me cheetos, when I denied he said "Yeah, you wouldn't want to get fat." and I proceeded to tell him I wanted to get fat, and he said "Nooo, but you're so beautiful!" COME ON DUDE I CAN BE FAT AND BEAUTIFUL!

Anyway, gonna go enjoy the Mex with the friends. Love y'all.

lo hecho esta hecho

Speaking of things that are cool... I bought blue shoes!

and the marching continues

Well, teaching went better today, BUT it seemed to be Día de la Bandera parte dos. Why? Why is your salute still so much like Hitler's? I mean, I feel like I'm disrespecting my best friend every time we sing the Mexican Anthem... which apparently is going to be quite frequently.

Song of the day? Why not? Tegan and Sara - Living Room

More on the DF. It's really, really big. And it grows so fast. Driving out of the city at night provided a great view of GLOBAL WARMING in action. I've never seen so many lights in my life. It legitimately lit up the sky to the point that you could see the clouds. 21.2 million people. Seriously? like, no, really? Like, that just doesn't even make sense to me. How the hell is the poor Earth supposed to sustain that many people in one place?

All in all, I was completely surprised. I thought I was going to be disgusted, but it really is a beautiful, clean, and very historic city. I would totally live there.

DF

Let us begin with some fun facts about this fabulous city. Mexico City is the capital of Mexico, the largest city in the Americas, and the 3rd largest agglomeration in the world. 21.2 million people live there. IT'S ENORMOUS.

Highlights: we ate some of the most delicious sushi I've ever eaten. Drove from Mexico City to Teotihuacan in a convertible VW bug, and took a turibus around the city. The picture above is the Cathedral, we all know being Catholic isn't really my cup of tea, but I can still appreciate an amazing iglesia, right?

So basically the city is beautiful, super clean, and full of crazy things to do. I need to go back for a longer period of time to visit all the museums, continue to stare at the beautiful old buildings, and eat all the amazing food.

My main conclusion about this mystical place, however, is that it is like a sea of concrete. As previously stated, it's just huge in a way that you can't even comprehend without seeing it, and when you're driving out of it the buildings start to spread onto the hills and it looks like waves.

Also, Mexican flag at ancient Aztec site? Gloating much?


I just really wanna get these pictures up, so more later.
Love,
Liz
