Teotihuacan

Party-Time

Pachuca and Teotihuacan with Laura-Schwesterherz

Holaaaa

Sooo and now I`m sitting in my room, listening to music. It`s really hot here now, everyday day sunny and 30 C and more. I was in the Centro of Queretaro today, just walking around and having a coffee with Melissa. I`ve got two weeks of holidays now, there are so many tourists in Queretaro. A lot from Mexico City and the United States. Semana Santa is really important here, there are a lot of events in the Centro. I`ll go and watch this week.
Everything is going great with my hostfamily, they are really nice, especially my mom :-) she`s an angel. Oh some news, they sold our car, but they bought a printer now :-) jaja Mexico!!!
After the vacation I`m going to be a cheerleader, haha, yes me. I just want something to do after school. I hope you`re all fine? Take care!

03.03 - 08.03 2008

I showed my parents Queretaro in morning, in the afternoon they got to know my hostfamily. I was really nervous because I didn`t know how it is going to be, but we had a great time together. I had to translate a loot :-) they met my aunts and grandmother too.
My brothers got a Football-Shirt from FCZ and FCB and my parents a `Kukuksuhr`.
On Tuesday I showed them my school, they met my mexican friends and the other exchange students. On Wednesday we rented a car and went to Guanajuato. On the way to San Miguel de Allende our car broke down. We had to wait for three hours! They brought a new car, it was already six o`clock so we couldn`t go to san Miguel. On Thursday we went to Bernal, I think my parents favourite place :-) later we had lunch in San Juan del Rio. Friday was our last day together, it was the birthday of my brother Jose Luis (he turned 16). So on Saturday we had to say good-bye...they left at 1 o`clock. It wasn`t easy but I knew that I`ll meet the soon again :-)
In the evening I had a Swiss-Dinner. I was invited to a friends house, we made fondue (cheese and chocolate), salad, coque au vin and `Kartoffelgratin`. We watched a movie about Switzerland and listened to Swiss music :-)

25.02- 02.03 2008

The following week we went to Puerto Morelos and Playa del Carmen (shopping), visited another pyramide called Muyil. I swam with dolphins! It was a really special experience, dolphins are so cute :-) we spent a lot of time on the beach, snorkling and in the evening in the bars and restaurants.
On Sunday we flew back to Mexico City and took the bus to Queretaro.

20.02 - 25.02 2008

So on Wednesday was the big day :-) I met my parents again! I wanted to wait for them at the entrance of the hotel, but when i got there a man told me that they already checked in, so I met them outside their hotel-room. We just spent the day talking.
On Thursday we visited the ruins of Tulum, on Friday XCARET. Xcaret Eco Theme Park is full of Mexico; Mayan Culture, Flora and Fauna, Archaeological Tours and Water Attractions. You can swim in underground-rivers. On Saturday we went snorkling in an other laguna. We saw turtles, parrot fish, ^Roche^ and Tintefische :-)
On Sunday my godparents already left again, Ulla stayed for one day more. We went to Sian-Kaan, a big nature reserve.

15.02 - 19.02 2008

On Friday evening I took the bus to the airport of Mexico City. I arrived at night time, it was amazing to see the city, it`s huge, really beautiful with all the lights. I met my godparents, Marianne, BG, Louise, Charlotte (their children and really good friends) and Ulla (friend of my parents) at the hotel. It felt so good to see them again, like home. I took a nice warm bath.
We got up early on Saturday, ate breakfast at Starbucks. Our flight to Cancun left at 8:50 a.m. In Cancun we rented a car, it took us ca. two hours to get to Akumal. Akumal is small town at the Riviera Maya, it`s not a big tourist place. The beach is public and they protect the turtles.
On Sunday we just lied on the beach, relaxing.
Monday we went snorkling in Xel-Ha, a big laguna. On Tuesday we went to the pyramides of Chichen Itza.
