Part 1

Please forgive the lateness and also any spelling/grammer errors. Haven't really been working on my english and the computer underlines almost ever word as misspelled. Also remember the website is probably compressing my photos a ton and they should look better than they do.

Thanks! Bye!

Day 1 Monday 11/11

We woke up at like 4 in the morning to drive to the airport. On the way we hit a giant pothole. Good vibes only!

Playing Uno in the airport while we wait for our flight. I wondered if Uno cards bought in México would say ONE on them but it turns out their the same.

Our giant heard makes it's way thtroug the CDMX airport. Never have I been in a group that stands out more that this one. 50 kids from 15 different countries speeking 8 different languages draws a lot of eyes.

Views from the bus as we drove out of the city on our way to Puebla.

Dinner

Day 2 12/11

View of Puebla from the roof of our hotel and the volcano outside of town.

Views as we keep driving to get to Oaxaca.

Bus tour through Oaxaca.

Got off the bus and viseted two cool shops where they make cloth and aluminum goods. Then we walked down to the main square/market/church thing

Day 3 13/11

Drove a couple hours outside of the city up into the mountains to visit this place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierve_el_Agua

Callie was one of the five other people from the US in our rotary district (4195), which takes up the whole of southern México. The district is the one that organized and ran the trip through a tour agency.

More pics and we got to swim in these cool pools. Also Surasak! he's from Thailand and in México we both live in Villahermosa.

Drove back out of the mountains to one of the two alcohol distileries that we got to visit on the trip.  Here they make Mezcal which is also made out of agave. The placed we stopped at felt more touristy than an actual distilery, but we had a chance to try it and buy some if we wanted. Tastes super nasty and burns all the way down, but also I dont think they gave us the good shit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezcal

Then we went to see the thiccest tree in the world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81rbol_del_Tule  An already very difficult thing to photograph got even harder in the dark so please forgive the poor quality here.

To the square/market/church thing!! Grace on the left form the US and Maria on the right from Brazil then Kostick from Poland with his Coca-Cola coffe drink. Already we were all super tired and there were still 10+ days left.
