Two Mexican Staples
Well, if we are to be completely honest, we enjoyed 4 Mexican staples today; food, Mezcal, Tequila and a Lucha Libre show. We started our day off with a cooking class - and Jason was even able to join in this one! Salsa verde, salsa roja, guacamole, tortillas,...
Up up and away!
Amazing start to the day, and freakin early! Our alarm went off at 3:45am because we’re getting picked up at 4:40 at the Angel of Independence monument. Early morning, a time I usually only stir for heading to the airport Who in there right mide would volunteer for...
We Found the People and they LOVE Robbie…
On a whim, we bought tickets to the Robbie Williams concert tonight. It is embarrassing to say, but we only really know him from the Graham Norton Show. We knew he is a singer. We knew he is British. We knew he is very popular. We might have thought we knew a song or...
The Possibilities in Puebla
A slow start and light day for us today We wander the streets around our boutique hotel in the heart of Puebla. Wow! What a vibrant city this is. And the food scene is everywhere. I wish I could dive in Huge cathedral right downtown Unfortunately the bug that I’ve...

Learning to Cook – Oaxacan Style!
Jason and I have been looking forward to this class for months - ever since we knew we were coming to Mexico. So when Jason woke up sick this morning, like really sick, he was gutted. Literally and figuratively. We swear, it was not the fault of the Mezcal last night!...
Hola Oaxaca!
We have two adventures scheduled for today, first up…Monte Albán. These ruins also date back to 500BC. Yet what makes these distinct from the others we’ve explored - they were never lost. People always knew they were perched up high above Oaxaca The ball court. The...
All Things Water
I don't think we expected to get sopping wet today. I know for sure that we didn't expect to get sopping wet twice. Both times were absolutely worth it. We started the day at a Turtle Ecocenter. Who knew there were so many different types of turtle species?? Our...
Lazy pool day
Not much going on today for us. A day to catch up on homework, trip planning and what we’re doing tomorrow. My cappuccino while I wait to order I think they even gave me real maple syrup! So even though we didn’t move much, I’d like to think we were relatively very...
