Day 14, Week 2

I'm writing this blog about Saturday on Sunday because I didn't have internet access on my trip yesterday!

So,we woke up early to leave for our trip to the little town of Mazamitla. We were going to meet our friends at a park near their house and then walk to the fountain where the vans were going to pick us up, but we got lost on the way. We ended up taking a taxi for a 30 second trip to the fountain (La Minerva) and met up with the others there. The ride was about 2 hours long and we stopped at a little town to get these drinks our guide was telling us about. It was a mixture of juices, squirt, and tequila and then put it in a little bag (reminded me of what they put fish in at the pet store) and tied a straw into it. It was very interesting and tasted pretty good.

When we got to Mazamitla, we found the cabanas that we were staying at and then went to a restaurant in the middle of the town to eat. Another lady that was in our van, sat with a couple of us at our table and was preaching about God and some of her testimonies. It was very interesting to say the least, because she was obviously speaking in Spanish and it was quite difficult to understand. This wonderful lady's name was Sandra. After lunch we were free to do whatever so we walked around the town for 4 hours and visited many little stores. I bought some pretty cool candles there. :) We met back up with the rest of the group at the cabanas and had carne asada tacos and beans and Corona! The people here in Mexico definitely like their coronas and tequila. It was a very good dinner. Everyone was so tired from the day and was about to crash when the guide came in and asked "Do you want some tequila?!" So we started to play some games with him and another friend and the night began. We had so much fun and ended up going to the cabana right next to ours to party with some other Mexicans from Guadalajara that came. What a fun night! (They didn't go to bed until 7 a.m. they told us!)

The rest of the weekend trip will be continued on the next blog ;)
