still here
Ok, so I know I`ve been a little slack on keeping up with this blog over the past few things...I`ve just barely had time to stop and write! And I don`t have that much time to write right now, so I`ll just give highlights.
I have been to sooooo many places recently. I think I`ve covered like half of Mexico by now. Last time I wrote, I think I was in Oaxaca? Well, my dear friend, Ellia, came to meet me, so I returned to Mexico City to get her at the airport. She came with a suprise...that her little sis, Ma'ayan, was also coming to travel with us for a week! So we hung out in the city for a few days, while waiting for her to arrive. During that time, we also went to visit the family of our friend`s (Erin`s) boyfriend`s family in the state of Mexico, in a little town called San Francisco Tepaxuxuca. It was very rural and interesting.
So we got Ellia`s sis, and went to Guanajuato, where we stayed with my friends, and had a great time. It is such a colorful, magical town.
After about 4 days, we took off on a crazy adventure to this part of the country I`ve been wanting to see for years. It is called the Huasteca Potosina, and it`s increadible. It is this forrested part of the Sierra Madre Oriente, and it covers a large area. There are increadible waterfalls and other natural features there. We saw this place that I think would qualify as paradise (I`ll put pics up later), called Puente de Dios.
This adventure involved many, many hours on the bus, and we only had 3 days to do it and get back to Mexico city! So, we hit Tamasopo, Cafetal, and Xilitla in those three days, and then took an over-night bus back to the city. It was an aweful trip, through the mountains in a freezing bus. But, at least we had a sane driver who went the speed limit!
So, after dropping off Ma'ayan, Ellia and I headed for the state of Vera Cruz. We stayed for a few days in Papantla, a town that I liked a lot. We arrived in Xalapa last night, and met up with a few of my friends. We did a tour of the country side today. Later I`ll include names of the places we went, but I don`t remember all of them right now!
Also, more details will follow, but right now I feel almost too overwhelmed, like once I start writing, it will open the flood gates. I have to prepare myself!!
This was the first week that I felt really homesick, not for the place, but for family and friends that I love and miss. Really, I feel like everyone is still with me, though, even though we can`t talk face to face. I don`t believe that goodbyes exist once you know and love someone!
