A few pictures that go with yesterdays post.... if I can figure this thing out




One picture is of El Parque Central and the cathedral that is there. This is typical colonial spanish construction with a central square that has banks, government buildings, and a cathedral on its perimeter... Jordon and I walk through Parque Central multiple times every day (at least 6) as we go and return to school, lunch, and activities...

The other picture is of us making chocolate, which I describe in my post... It was really fun, but I talked to my host mama about it and she said that the method we used wasn´t as authentic as the one she used in her pueblo growing up because she used sugar, and an oven whereas the way her parents did growing up was with fire and stones... but I guess the method we observed is still the most natural chocolate I have ever seen or tasted!

There is also a picture of us playing futbol at the field, which I also describe in my post. I also have pictures of my knees all bloody because the turf is like little black rocks (i don´t know what they are called, but they are like artificial turf or whatever) and I tore up my knees pretty bad, but I figured that this picture better captured how much fun it was.
