I've been in Mexico for about a week now. It has been a great experience thus far. The classes, tour guides, and the time I have spent with my family has been wonderful. I have visited the Amparo Museum, many churches, the convent of Franciscano de San Juan Bautista in Cuauhtinchan, "Los Fuertes de Loreto y Guadalupe, where the battle of Puebla occurred on Cinco de Mayo, the onyx and marble factory in Tecali and many of the local hangout spots here in Puebla. It involves a lot of walking! I started my blog a little late, but I am going to try to write in it every couple of days, but for now to sum up my past week, here are some photos of the various places that I have visited so far. Enjoy!
