Motorcycles and Snails

Way fun weekend! Our family is super into motorcycles and this was the first weekend that we didn't have anything planned so they took us out! Yesterday we went to a place that has natural mineral water and then rode up to a place where we could see the whole city.

Us drinking the water. I was a little skeptical when they said it was clean but hey, I'm not sick yet!

Jesus, Tono (family friend), Yuyu (another friend), Bonnie, and I. Beautiful city view!

At the end of our trip we went to get some food. Of course I'm expecting some delicious traditional Mexican because, well, you come to expect that when you're in Mexico. Instead, this is what we got.

The fear is beginning to build.

That's right, my friends, SNAILS!

Snails! And limes, which go on everything.

And yes, I did eat that. I think an applause is in order. Standing ovation actually.

Yummm....

And that's how I felt about it after. Not a fan. But Bonnie ate them right up! I just couldn't deal with the eyes and the sliminess. Hahaha. Who would've guessed I would try snails in Mexico?

The next day, Sunday, we went on another adventure! After church our family took us to the city of Acatlan to see some pretty cool stuff. First stop was this salt harvesting place. The water comes out of the ground naturally and then runs down and they collect the salt at the bottom. Our family bought some... pretty cool!

After this we went to a government-run biodiversity... I don't know... giant garden. Haha. We went on a long guided tour of the place, but I didn't listen much. We did take some fun photos though!

Just a couple of cacti.

Fun fun fun.

Another couple of cacti :)

 Fun fact: Cacti grow about a centimeter a year. Which means that one you see behind us is OLD.

 Fun fact numero dos: I've eaten that right there. It's called nopal. And quite tasty in tacos.

Haha. This picture makes me laugh for so many reasons.

Me and Belen. Love this girly!

It was a great weekend! Our family is wonderful and totally spoils us. I know I'm going to be so sad to leave them when the time comes!

PS. I love Mexico!!!
