Los Milagros

Been spending a lot of time here. They make a mean pizza. And an even meaner Iced Chai.

Man, let me just cuentate a little bit about my life. On a normal MTW, I have class 12-1 and 4-6. On THFS&SUN, I just wander down to the centro, have a beer or a coffee.. eat something delish, maybe go into a few shops, visit the market on weekends, people watch, eat an ice cream... maybe go listen to some bad live music and drink two beers for 25 pesos in the artists 'hood. Really, it may sound lovely, BUT IT'S GETTING OLD! I want to take a class that challenges me, I want to argue with my professors, I WANT TO WORK!!!

Tay is home. I want to be in my bed at East Ave.

FOOD

Tonight Erin and I had an absolutely lovely 2.5 hour meal for about 17 dollars.

You may find yourself asking: What made this meal so lovely? What did they eat? Was there wine involved?

PICTURE: 2 beautiful women, a gurgling fountain, impeccable service (napkin laid on my lap for me, door held open at the bathroom), and lots of delicious food.

I had ravioli with ricotta and prosciutto. Erin had a caprese salad. Mmm mmm mozzarella. We started dinner off with some crazy bread, oil and vinegar, herb-y butter, and some sort of delectable pesto sauce. Also present, a bottle of cabernet sauvignon.... and for desert? Volcanic chocolate cake, a scoop o' vanilla, and strawberries.

All of this, for roughly 380 pesos. That is like 17 dollars each.

Next up: la casa de espejos. Supah fancy, gonna buy a dress.

Love & Amoebas.

Reliability

No matter how developed Mexico may be, things are not always as they appear. For instance, you can have full bars of internet connection and somehow not be able to load your e-mail.

So, in honor of the TERRIBLE INTERNET at the dorms this week, this blog post is going to be a list of what IS reliable in Mexico these days.

1. You can ALWAYS buy takis at every miscelánea.

2. You WILL get sexually harassed if you leave your home.

3. Valet parking at Starbucks.

les amo.

Picnics are hard, y'know?

Since my 3rd Amoeba-like affliction I've become kind of insane about eating. Therefore, what does one bring to a picnic? Every self-respecting lunch has at least one refrigerated item, right? So what, you go on a hike with a cooler? NO! Your food spoils and gets amoebas!!

CUIDALES

lucky me

I knew naming this blog after that horrible ailment would come back and bite me in the ass. Currently sick again, not a laughing matter.

Chiapas.

Just spent another lovely night on a bus. But don't worry, not only was the bus 3 hours late to arrive to Villa(notso)hermosa, it therefore arrived 3 hours late to Puebla, making it so I missed class..... again. SO, the fun is over. I have been on a continuous vacation pretty much since Zoe got here on March 6. I have been to Veracruz, Oaxaca, Cancun, Tulum, Merida, Chichen Itzá, Palenque, Villa(notso)hermosa, and San Cristobal all in one month. It's a little bit sad to realize I have to go back to my not so great classes, but I am less than 2 months away from being back in Burlington. AND...... dundundunnnnnn, I GOT ACCEPTED TO TOWER!!!! So I have many things to look forward to upon my arrival to the great US of A.
More later, I have to hunt down some comida, shower, and GO TO CLASS!
