Lo que paso paso
Well, my camera is gone for good.
But its for the better, perhaps. I´m traveling, and it doesnt matter whether I lose things or something doesnt go the way I plan. Its all for the experience.
I bought a new camera when I got to Puebla, for about $20. It seems good enough, and if it gets stolen, the hell with it, its only 20 bucks.
I´m actually enjoying Puebla quite a lot. I had met several girls during the Cervantino from Puebla, so my main reason for coming was to visit them. I met up with one of the girls (Saydel) yesterday, and within 2 hours I had another novia. We walked all around downtown during the day, then I ate at her house. We went to a class of hers at 5 o´clock, and that was totally overwhelming. I haven´t been to class since June, and I dont plan to go again until next September.
Today we went to a pyramid in a town called Cholula, and that was pretty fun. Unfortunately, we were only novios for about 24 hours, because tonight she´s off to Mexico City. The other girls I knew from the Cervantino aren´t going out tonight, so I guess Ill have to find some new company for this evening. There is an international pantomime festival going on in the Zocalo, and its actually quite fun; not really something you would plan on seeing, but as I´m here, I might as well.
Puebla actually lightened my spirits as soon as I arrived. I was walking to my hotel with my backpack, and on the way two girls at some computer company stopped me and asked me out on a date that night. I showed up kind of late and they were already gone, but since then I´ve been flying pretty high in my travels.
Tomorrow I´m off to Oaxaca. I´ve heard really good things about the place, so it should be fun. Then Ill go to the beach at Puerto Escondido. I dont think you can do a trip to mexico justice without visting the beach.
I really do miss you guys. Im meeting tons of cool, interesting people, but it still isnt the same as the A-town crew.
Love,
Dan

reading your blog is really interesting, its taking me away from the boston life (which i love so much) and reminding me of everything else thats going on in the world!
and dont worry about classes, if you pick interesting ones it doesnt even seem that bad

Hey Dan. Karina forwarded the link to your blog tonight. It’s been said before, but still, this sounds like an absolutely amazing time. I probably should’ve been sleeping or doing homework this past hour or so, but after reading one entry, I had to go back and read them all. Your real life experiences definitely trump those that we shared together in AP Spanish with LaSorte. With that said, Remember the TILT (i really hope that you do) and if you make it to Peru (I think it was Peru) keep an eye out for that kid peeing on the wall. (this, i’m sure you remember) Also I really admire you for coming up with an idea and going through with it, especially one as huge as this one. Anyone can have an idea, but to be determined enough to see it happen is a rare thing. I’ll keep reading for sure. Adios Felipe. (that’s about all i remember from last year)
