We arrived in Acapulco about an hour before the sun set. This was probably the most excited we’d been since leaving for the airport two weeks ago. Our hotel Costa Club is shaped like a vertebrae and has 29 floors. My quad is housed on the 22nd and our balcony looks SW. What a beautiful view! That evening, I went exploring our awesome pool and took a short walk on …continue reading

Hola a todos, Well, there’s much to say that is very interesting, so let me begin from the beginning… Mexico City to Cuernavaca, Sun. Jan 25: The bus ride took only 1.5 hrs, and we arrived in the city around lunchtime. We were given a couple of hours to find food and to explore around. Cortes’ castle still stands, but I didn’t go in because of an entrance fee. After …continue reading

If I recall, my last email came from before our departure to Puebla. We reached Puebla in the late afternoon and were dropped off at a small market (items for sale, not food). After 1.5 hrs of browsing around, we met at the city’s zocalo to get back …continue reading

Buenas tardes, I forgot to mention that while in Mexico City, we also attended a Ballet Folklorico performance of traditional Mexican dances and music. What an interesting performance! The company danced different types, from an Aztec stag dance, to revolutionary dances, and the more familiar ones with Spanish influence. La musica was fantastic, with a phenomenal harpist (no pedals) and some pieces with 5 men on one marimba-type instrument. Well, …continue reading

Hello from Mexico City! Where to begin? First of all, I forgot to mention something from our first concert. During the piece La Fiesta Mexicana, we played the movement titled “Mass” in which we have chimes depicting the church bells. Just as we finished, the church next door began its 12 tolls announcing mass. Dr. Mahr paused for it to finish before we continued with the last movement. On to …continue reading
