On Friday I went on an adventure to a town called Teuchitlán to visit some very interesting ancient ruins called Guachimontones. They are said to be the only circular ruins in the world!
My friends Jenny, Tara, and I took a bus ride there. It was really interesting because every time the bus made a stop, someone would hop on and try to sell the passengers something. Usually it was homemade potato chips or peanuts. It's so much different that something you would see in the states. But we made it there and then took a taxi to see the ruins. They were definitely really cool, but I expected them to be quite a bit bigger. We walked back down the hill into the town again and stopped at some jewelry vendors, where I bought some really neat things...for cheap!! We had lunch at a little taco stand and made a new friend, Reuben, who had lived in Atlanta for 10 years with his brother working construction and loved it. haha He also asked us when we were coming back because he wanted to take us for a cruise--hmm weird. But we got back on the bus which we thought was to head back to GDL. It turns out it did go to GDL but just not the same terminal we started at, so we were a little lost. We ended up finding our way through 2 more bus rides!
At night, we went over to our friend Edi's house and hung out with some of our friends. It was a great way to spend a vacation day!
It was so beautiful out, I got sunburnt! I think it was around 82!
