Mexico Part 2

Hi everyone!  This is part two of my Mexico posts.  This is a fountain made of china at San Angel!  :O 

This is a closer look.  Wow, that's a lot of cups!

The mermaid at the base of the fountain.

Some flowers next to the fountain.

A colorful altar.

At night we go to the Museum of Anthropology to see a folklore ballet.  To our surprise, the show was on a stage outdoors.

I think their dresses are pretty.  What do you think?

I didn't understand what was happening here....

hm......  Not sure what this is...

      

After the ballet we go to Hotel Intercontinental to eat at this French restaurant.

A statue in the lobby of the hotel.

The menu.  Sorry the words are so tiny.

Onion soup. 

These are some beef cheeks.

Seafood soup.

Even though it doesn't look like it, these are mussels with pesto butter.

Shrimp and scallops.  None for me D:

Duck with lots of fries.  (What I ordered)

Red snapper.

For dessert we had chocolate souffle with vanilla ice cream..

.....and some berry souffle.  :)  Well, this marks the end of another post, I'll try to post more soon.

 Hello everyone! Due to someone's..."request" I have decided to visit the lovely blog and post a thing or two. What I really want to talk about- really- is this time of year. Allergy season, Spring flowers, the weather warming up, what else you say? STAR tests? Other tests of some sort because it's near the end of the year? The constant frustration to just want to have everything be over and be done with so summer can begin? Truthfully, I think this is a bitter-sweet time of the year. After you trudge your way through the bitterness of tests/stress/etc., you are rewarded with the sweet last days of school and the whole summer to do whatever you want. What are your feelings about this time of year? Do you like it? Hate it? Just.. don't have an opinion on it? I wonder...
This brings us ( or rather... me) to my next topic of .. discussion? Summer. So, do you guys have any plans for the summer? Are you looking forward to it? Or.. (somehow) not looking forward to it? This summer I'm planning on... trying something new? We should all set a goal to try something new! Aha. Yes, that escalated quickly. (kind of. i don't know.. but I've always wanted to say that =DD) Well, I have to go back to do my uncompleted homework. Good luck everyone- through this bitter period, I give you my BLOBB. To help you whenever you just need to *sigh* and just.. take a moment to calm yourself. You can do this. =)

BLOBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB~!!!!! =DDD

Mexico City- Part 1

After flying for four hours, we finally arrive at our hotel (at 6 am) which has a pretty stained glass ceiling.

The rooms in the hotel.

The view of the lobby from the first floor.

We eat breakfast at Cafe de Tacuba.

The outside of a famous cathedral.

Purple velvet pillars because of Easter.

The saints.

The giant organ inside.

We are eating late lunch at Azul Historical.  Mezcal (alcohol) in a gourd shell with some oranges covered with chili, salt, and ground beetles :P.

A stuffed pepper with pomegranate cream sauce.  Steak with veggies.  Black mole chicken.

A chocolate and tres leche cake for dessert.  This is all for part 1.  More photos coming soon.  :)
