So it's official. I only have 9 days left in Mexico. And even less in Puebla with my host family and friends. Eek! My third and final class finished on Thursday. I don't know how, but I escaped with 2.5 weeks of spring break!

Last weekend I travelled with Robin, Erika, and Andres to Taxco. It is tucked away in a small mountain range. Thus, you can probably guess how the bus ride getting there was. Luckily the gorgeous view in the last 5 minutes of the ride erased the nauseating hours preceding. The quaint and picturesque town reminded me of somewhere in Spain or Greece with all of the narrow winding roads, colorful vespas, and white Volkswagen bugs that doubled as taxis.

We had heard that Taxco was not to be missed, particularly for it's Saturday market. It is home of silver mines. Thus, the market is loaded with kiosk after kiosk selling silver. While most of it was too shiny for my fancy, I was able to find a turquoise ring that I now wear everyday! While here, we also enjoyed delicious meals, rooftop nights at our hostel, and a stunning view of the city when visiting a "photo opp" area surrounded by none other than pine trees!
