Our fourth week in Puebla (and second week of Spring Break) was less eventful than the first week, but no less enjoyable. Our week began with a picnic in the yard where we met lots of new people. They were all very friendly, and we all talked and joked. There was also an amazing sunset that night, which we fortunately had a camera to take a picture of.
We went on another adventure out in town, this time to the train museum. Adrienne and I climbed into and onto all sorts of full-sized train cars, from those built in the 1920's to some still in working condition. The train cars ranged in aesthetics from strictly utilitarian such as the car with the giant crane on it to the Executive Suite car with full beds, a kitchen and working toilet. Several of the cars were very rusty.We had lots of fun!
That Monday, we went to a local resort in Metepec. This place was absolutely gorgeous! The halls were big enough to create an echo. There were both indoor and outdoor pools. They had a lake stocked with fish which would be caught and cooked by the staff. This place even had a ropes course and a heli-pad for helicopters! We spent several days relaxing, getting some (and just a bit too much) sun, playing pool, and being very unproductive.
One side-note about Metepec Resort: This is the only place I have ever seen warning of and providing directions for evacuation in case of Earthquake, Fire and Flood...all on the same sign! This was very interesting to me.
The rest of the week was spent hanging out at home recovering from the last Spring break of our college careers. We used aloe on sunburns, slept in late, and went to another cook-out/get-together for a family friend. Monday begins school again, and I can't wait. I miss my kids!
