Adventures in Cuernavaca...
What a day! It it hasn´t even ended yet!
I woke up as the sun rose, as usual, prepared a tea with canella, mediated for a short while with Mergunga, the queen cat of the house on my lap, ate a wonderful breakfast of papaya, bananas, apples, and homemade yogurt, swept, watered all of the plants growing outside, showered, and by ten in the morning I had already accomplished so much!
(The view I have the privledge to wake up to every morning)
In a taxi on the way to Cuernavaca with Dani we got pulled over by a police man because the taxi driver ran a red light. Were you in a rush, the police man asked us. Um....yea....???? Haha. The adventure only continued from there. After sitting in a coffee shop learning about blogs and websites for three hours, Dani and I rewarded ourselves with fresh bread from the panaderia. So far, this panaderia is my favorite and lucky us, it happens to be next door to the cafe where I am working with a man to help Estela get her website and blog up and going. How many pieces of bread, Dani asked. Um, I don´t know, whatever, I said.....First we had to look them over. So many choices! And we left with a bag full of about 7 pieces of bread....all different of course....so good! From there we took a bus to the center of Cuernavaca and entered the craze of the mercado. Anything and everything you could want is there. The market is HUGE, filled with shoes, fruit, vegetables, food, juices, clothes, candies, etc., etc. Dani was the navigator and I followed her through the haze of people and rows of literally, things. Just don´t loose the pink backpack, I thought to myself. After successfully navigating through the maze of the market, we made out way to an exit and waited for the bus to Temixco. As we were waiting men walked through the bus trying to sell us candies, peanuts, juices, chips, etc., etc. The bus ride home was long. Sooooo much traffic. But it was the funnest bus ride yet! Dani and I talked and made jokes the whole way. I feel genuinely happy when I am with Dani. I really enjoy spending time with her. We are always laughing together and having a good time. She is a friend, teacher, and sister. We finally made it to Temixco, got off the bus at the red store and walked to the red gate of Estela´s hosue. Upon entering, I was welcomed by a freshly homemade soup of carrots, potatoes, squash, corn, beans, tomatoes, chiles, everything! Sooooo good! Oh, also an entire pot of muecle tea, which is a deep color purple. Life is good. Really good. Tomorrow I head to Cuentepec with Dani. Until then!
Okay, so around 5pm Oliver came and brought us food he made! Homemade avocado salsa with a pot full of vegetables, cheese, and pineapple. We ate it with tortillas just like tacos! Super rico! We danced in the living room around the hustle and bustle of all of the people here....Melissa wanting to play, Kyle and Delia on the computer, Estela´s sister in law making tortillas, Estela´s brother eating, una abuelita sitting with her cake.....And I am going dancing tonight!!!! Yipeee!
