Cuetzalan

This is the most beautiful... amazing city I have ever been to!! I want to live here too!! First we went to La Gloria. It was a waterfall... it was pretty but i have seen lots of waterfalls... however I took my sketch book and got a few really good drawings in. Ana and David (the other camera guy) hung out some while waiting for everyone to get back on the bus. I sat with Alejandra one of the animadores... she is really sweet I like her alot. We then went farther up the mountain to the point that we had to get out and walk to the city because the bus wouldn´t fit down the streets. It is a beautiful town!! I cannot even tall you how amazing it is!! We checked into our hotel... also beautiful... an then had free time. I found my way to the zocalo and drew for a few hours. Then headed back to the hotel to change for dinner. We went to Jarritos for dinner and to watch the voladores they are dancers that go up this telephone pole looking thing then spin back down to the earth on ropes suspended from the top. By the time we left it was close to midnight. Ana, David, Lisa, Ellen and I went to the cemetary to film us wondering around there. We then went back to the hotel and dropped off the cameras and walked arround the city for awhile. It was alot of fun. We told ghost stories in spanish. hehehe. So it is like 2 in the morning now and I am still not tired. So I sat out on my balcony drew til 4 decided to try to sleep... gave up got up at 7 took a shower and went out to find something for breakfast. We had a good bit of free time and Ana, David, Lisa and I went to the market so they could film us shopping. On the way back to the school we stopped at some ruins... and an artiesians market... It was lots of fun!
