Cuetzalan

The city we ended up going to is actually called Cuetzalan, not the other thing I wrote..oops! It is about 5 hours from Puebla, so for the other students not living in Puebla is was sort of a hassle for them to get here. The bus ride there was fun. It was really great seeing the other exchange students, which I really enjoyed! It`s nice talking to other kids who understand what it`s like missing snow, and wanting to run outside in the woods. It`s been hard on me because here I can`t just lay outside in the grass or go on a run in the woods becasue there is no grass or woods here.
Anyway the city was beautiful. It`s located very high so when you are walking down the streets you are actually running and when you are going up it feels like you are climbing a mountain. We went so see this waterfall that was pretty but I think I enjoyed the bus ride there more. We all crouded into the back of this truck and it was a bumpy and curvy road. We then had to hike up to the waterfalls which was an adventure that I was glad to participate in.
After the waterfalls we got so look around the city which was not very large but the market was pretty. The had many "tiendas" which means stores but are actually more like a little set up area where the people sell their makings. That was pretty much the jist of it; it was a fun first rotex trip and I can`t wait for the next one in November =D
