Testing before we go!

Just making sure that I have a record of this new adventure!  It should be awesome in the original sense of the word!




I hope the nights aren't as spooky as this moon!

The bells ring eighteen times, every quarter of an hour!   They don’t wake us up;   but once you’re awake, you can’t help but hear them!   Of course the cathedral is right across the street.   We go upstairs for breakfast and today we have a private dining room, with a full view of the cathedral.   There are baskets of specialty breads to enjoy while we choose our meals.   I have hot chocolate (oh boy!) And decide to see if I can eat a waffle and crispy bacon without repercussions.   Sure is tasty! Sure do love our hotel! After breakfast we make a quick stop by the rooms and regroup at the van for a quick trip to the market to meet Cynthia, a world-famous chef who sill be teaching our cooking class.   She has represented Mexico at an international cooking competition, has cooked for a thousand people, and has even cooked for the Pope!!   With her is her assistant, Gustavos, who translates for her and will help her with...

Well 5:45 came pretty early!   But we both got everything done in time to go down to breakfast a bit early.   There is a huge buffet with lots of things I can’t identify but sample and love!   There is coffee, hot tea, and hot chocolate to drink and I’m starting slowly with hot tea.   Tomorrow, though, it’s gonna be hot chocolate for sure! View from our room We finish breakfast, head upstairs for a few moments, and regroup in the lobby at 8:30 to start our day.   First stop is the National Anthropology Museum.   We get there by van and get a chance to see some more of the city. The museum is so brilliantly designed that, although it was built in the 1960s, it still looks quite modern.   It utilizes a lot of natural light and has many ways to get to the outside, unlike most museums which feel a bit claustrophobic.   The architect said that there should actually be five individuals involved in the design, each a leader in his fiel...

We are so proud of ourselves for getting to breakfast right at 7:30 (the bells chime every quarter hour, so we know we’re right on the money!). But the kitchen won’t be ready for us until 8:00, so we have a small reprieve.   Everyone gathers at the newly-appointed hour and the magnificent view is still there, waiting to remind us that Life is Good!!   I’ve been dabbling in the “bread pond” and it must be true that Mexican wheat is different from ours;   I’ve been fine so far!   Today I’m going to have one of the beautiful treats in the bread basket and push my luck even further!   So good with Mexican hot chocolate!   And I have a mushroom omelet that comes with a scoop of potatoes with bacon bits mixed in. Next to the entrance to the rooftop terrace restaurant. When everyone is finished we take a few minutes and then regroup at the van.   Adan has been eating with us and that makes everyone very happy!   He and Juan are...
