lunes

as of today, i am enjoying my final monday in puebla.
my class ends it's official run tomorrow at 12:30 with a lecture on the zapatista movement in chiapas. as of tuesday afternoon, it's on to preparing for the "educational vacation" that we will embark upon at 9 p.m. on sunday.

this translates to two weeks on the road. a few days in san cristobal, a few days in palenque, a few days in merida. with an excursion to chichen itza. and then six days of absolutely nothing on the beach in playa del carmen (close to cancun). one day in mexico city. then my early morning flight to seattle on june 7th.

so everything here is coming to a close. i'm rushing to line up all the things i need to do for the last time. seeing as i have less than six days to do them.

my list includes, but is certainly not limited to:
-sunday market (accomplished yesterday)
-delicious potato chips (pictured above)
-cafe milagro and delicious salad (yesterday)
-more movies at cinepolis(tonight and tomorrow, robin hood and nightmare on elm street)
-writing a letter to blanca, trying not to mess up my spanish
-amalfi's
-parados
-cafe teorema, if i can manage it
-thursday night party with the class (catered by a taqueria)
-having a decent sit down at the kitchen table with blanca and talking about random stuff for a long time
-making a play list for the 7+ hour bus rides

its coming along so quickly.
