I went to a Thai food restaurant across the street from our workplace. I must say that it was a little disappointing. The owner was very nice and the store was very clean but the food was not too impressive, at least for vegetarians. I tried Pad Thai, fried rice, and coconut curry and none of them was spicy.
My co-worker and I decided to go to Tlaxcala for the weekend. We took Line 1 to San Lázalo, where there is a very large bus terminal. We took an AU bus to San Martin and my co-worker’s friend picked us up there.
San Martin and the surrounding areas were very different from DF. It was much much greener and there were panoramic views of the fields and surrounding mountains. We passed by a volcano that had snow on the summit. Although the area is supposed to be at about the same altitude as DF, it was much colder in the evening. I stayed in a suburb of Tlaxcala and even though I only went 2 hours outside of DF, I felt like I came to a really foreign place.
Today was a holiday for one of the saints in the town, so we heard lots of music and canon-like fireworks throughout the night. Exciting.
Our toes froze even with two layers of socks and stray dogs seemed to know the warm spots on the street better than humans.
