TGIF: I Never Saw A Single Cow in Cuernavaca.


Today was the beginning of our second four day vacation. We had no school today, so we woke up super early to catch a bus to Puebla, and then to Cuernavaca to spend the day. Cuernavaca is actually a pretty big city, and it would be fun to spend more time here, if we had it. Today we spent most of our day walking around the city and enjoying the centro.

First we bought these awesome fruit cups for our lunch. These were not typical fruit cups either. I filled mine with apple, banana, mango and guayanaba (Super delicious fruit) and then topped it with lechera, coconut and granola. The whole cup was only 12 pesos, which is exactly 1 dollar. Seriously, when I come home I am going to put lechera on absolutely everything.



We spent the afternoon at this huge park which was actually pretty neat. We saw a parrot show, and walked around and then sat by a pond for a while and did some paddle boating. We also tried to get a ride on this cute little train, but the driver told us it wasn't in operation today...Well we just gave him a few sad faces, and he let us on for a short free ride!!!! If only life was all that easy. We definitely enjoyed ourselves, and afterwards headed back to the centro. Here is me, Bonnie and Jen:


For the rest of the time in Cuernavaca, we hung out in the centro and enjoyed all the crazy night life. One thing I love about Mexico, is that in every city, there is a Zocalo or a main square, and there is always action going on there. It's like the best place for everyone to come hang out. We saw a ton of street dancers, and then listened to some sweet tunes from these cool guys!





We actually had McDonalds Flurries for dinner..hahah..how embarrassing, but they were delicious and worth it. Don't worry, afterwards we ate some street tacos too, so we evened it all out and those were just as yummy.

For only 58 pesos a person, less than five bucks, we slept in a super sketchy hotel..haha....I will tell you about that another day..in person...so you can see my facial expressions to go with it all. Can't wait until we get to Taxco for the rest of our adventure!!
