Semana Santa /// April 6th 2010

This post was meant to be written on sunday, however, i barely had time to finish my electricity homework. Semana santa, or Holy week, was this past week. Here in Mexico we get our spring break during holy week. What a relief it was to be able to rest from all the hard work from school, i also had vacation from work, for i go with the school calendar. For those who didn't know, i'm a robotics teacher at WestHill Institute.
I thought i was gonna have a relaxing, break, time for rest; however, a friend of my cousin came over from France, on Tuesday we went to pick her up at the airport in Toluca, which is like an hour away from Mexico City. I had only been to Toluca once in my life, and it was on a school trip to the Bimbo Factory; for those not familiar with that Brand, Bimbo is a Mexican Food Brand that owns many other around the world, it owns the Sunbeam sliced bread brand in The US, for example. So on my way there, i realized that it was beautiful, for the way passes through a foresty landscape. Once we met with her, we were on our way back and we stopped in La Condesa, to eat some Fish.
The Next Day we went to Teotihuacan which is a huge archeological site nearby Mexico city, it is known for its huge Pyramids and the Avenue of the death, it also holds numerous murals and artwork. Teotihuacan was the largest city in the american continent of the pre-columbian era.

It was really sunny that day, i got sunburned, although, at the top of the pyramid it was really fresh and cool. There were a lot of European People and we met a guy from kentucky whom with talked with for a while. On the little pyramid you see in the third picture, there were some dudes
juggling, it was really fun to watch. We stayed there for a while and rested, then we decided to get down and go to Tulancingo, a city located about an hour away. My God Parents live there, so we drove to their restaurant a had Argentinian food. While we were eating my godmother called my grandma and asked her for permission for us to stay in her house, so we did. The next day we went to the Mountains of Hidalgo, which includes towns such as: Huasca, San Miguel Regla, Mineral del Monte, Mineral del Chico, etc. First, we visited the "Prismas Basalticos" which are geometric forms made by the erosion of water on rocks.

The next place we visited is called "La pena del Cuervo" which is a huge rock on top of the mountain and you can stand on it and look at the valley and the forest and it's just beautiful. I didn't take any pictures though, my battery died (sadness). We went to eat at the town and walked around, then we headed for Pachuca, which is the capital city of Hidalgo(The state grandma lives in) and then to Tula(Where grandma lives). We stayed there for the next day, i was really tired, for i had driven long distances for the past 3 days, so i did nothing but sit around, watch TV, Movies, and think of stuff. I thought of all those places that there are to visit in Mexico, i still need to plan a trip just in case. Lets see, Guanajuato, Hidalgo, Nayarit Riviera, Oaxaca, Veracruz, Tabasco, Chiapas, Yucatan Peninsula and the places in between. There are some virgin beaches around that are just beautiful. :D Anyway, on Saturday, We visited several places in Mexico city: Chapultepec, Museums, La Condesa, Coyoacan( They have the best Churros there).

I had Fun, i was able to go to places i had never been to which were absolutely awesome. I went back to school though, i need to finish the semester, and be a junior in august. I can't wait for the summer though, i hope i get to have a lot of fun. I really do.
