Well, we get two weeks of spring break. I was just sort of getting in the groove with the teaching, but it's difficult to argue with break. This will be a time for me to improve my Spanish, see my husband (coming for a visit), and get to know more about Mexico while visiting a few other states, cities, and pyramids.
We walked around old Puebla, peeked into courtyards, and admired beautiful fountains. The fountains make everything seem cooler, as the city is really heating up these days.
Lindsey, Adrienne, Mario, and I took a bus to Cuernavaca. We spent several hours wandering the city, learning about the history of Mexico at the Palacio de Cortes.
Instead of a railing, the museum used these flowers to keep patrons from wandering too near the edge of a balcony.
Children seem much freer in Mexico, so these boys were playing outside the museum with no apparent adult supervision, yet all the adults were sort of keeping an eye on them as they played and had a good time.
We visited the Recinto de la Catedral, one of the oldest church sites in Mexico, which has been built onto for centuries. Worship services are still held here.
We took a break for dessert at an excellent Italian restaurant.
It's great to have someone like Mario along to finish whatever we can't!
