Vacation, Day 4

up to bells, roosters, & light
leftover dead bread, oatmeal w/ platinos & cinnamon
longish walk to bus stop, browsed shops
bus to Coatepec, in-drive entertainment (was it the bumps or was he supposed to sound like that), smells form coffee factory
shopping - coffee cream liquor, coffee jewelry, coffee
bouncy bus back, during which we discover we need to make a second trip
día de los muertos paper, but no t-shirts yet
stopped at studio w/ Elvia for a bit (¡guayabas from Bernice!), went to restaurant for lunch
muchos enchiladas & esponjadas
at Chinese store, we find Mexican skirt (made in India)
dropped off stuff, went all the way up to cemetery to take pics - qué lástima, not open
roof dog, meet balcony chicken
met fellow travellers on way down
dropped off camera, went to other shops looking for t-shirts - día de los muertos decorations spontaneously appearing
made arrangements for t-shirts
many crowds around Xalapa Cathedral for San Rafael
went down to the lake, were escorted around the park by a local stray
browsed shops & agora gallery, picked up bread & rats on the way back
¿parade? missed it by that much
pics of the moon
Bernice's fruit makes puckerjuice
¡yes we have empenadas!
Muffin, are you done blogging yet?
apparently, 'alzar' translates as 'to moose'
early night in
the something something... ¿the pampinola parade?
