And I was on top of the world...

¡Buenos dias muchachos!


It's been a whil since I updated and I'm sorry for that. I've been really busy... and also I couldn't find any motivation. Sorry for that.
But now I am back and I hope that I will update once a month or so... So wish me luck :D

I went to a bullfight... I've never been to one before, so I thought I should at least go to one while I can.
It wasn't fun... It was just so unfair because you knew that the bull didn't have any chance against the guy. At first the guy was riding one a horse so it was a little bit more fair, since the bull could hurt the horse with its horns. But later it was man against bull and there was literally zero chance for the bull to win.
Anyway here are some pictures:







On one weekend the other german volunteers and me were supposed to walk up a mountain. But in the end we drove up there and didn't have to walk at all.
The view was breathtaking. It was like we were on top of the world. But you'll see later that I've been "on top of the world" more than once here in Mexico.





Also we planned a Fiesta Mexicana/Fiesta Bienvenida. All of our families were invited and we had to wear Mexican clothing. It was fun and I really liked my dress.

 And of course we had to cut the cake together :D

And here I was on top of the world again. This is Pachuca the capital of Hidalgo. It's just 10 minutes away from where I live (by car).





We also visited Teotihuacan and climed up the pyraminds. It was a bit exhausting since the stairs were really high and there was not a lot of air. But at the end it was definitely worth it!

And last but not least a Picture of me and my host-father with one of my new favorite Foods. Elotes. Elotes is a corncob coated in Lemon Juice and Mayonnaise and cheese. You can also add Chili, but thats optional.
The combination might Sound weird to you (it did to me at first), but it's soooo delicious!



Thanks for reading and

¡Hasta luego!
