We liked:

Our Mexican family. We couldn’t imagine better. Muchas gracias y hasta luego amigos!
The warm atmosphere where we lived for 10 days.
The food! The juices, the fruits, the « tortillas »… Everything was delicious (yum-yum!)
The chilli. Even though we were afraid at the beginning we loved it at the end.
The hot chocolate made with real chocolate. You just have to mix the milk and the chocolate with a special wood spoon. We bought one!
To finish we also liked the markets, the Indian dances, the dunes, the Teotihuacán pyramids, our guide Santos, the salsa dancers and all the presents we received from so many people. Thanks guys!

We didn’t like :

Pay more than the price on the market of Teotihuacan because we were from Europe.
People snoring in the buses! All the protections were useless…
To be roused by our neighbours who were dancing salsa at 3 AM! Next time we dance with them

Best memories :

Our favorite : the Huichol community. His kindness, his honesty and his purity of heart…

It made us laugh :

To see a French brand of cream for baby who translated « crema para el culito del bébé » on a cream bottle (which means “cream for the ass of baby”!)
When Maxime has been arrested by security agents (before taking the bus to Veracruz), they thought he was drunk because his face was red. The truth is he just had a sunburn on his face! They even said « kiss me » in order to check his breath. Very funny!

The presents we got before our departure !

It did’n make us laugh!

We were surprised by :

The bus without doors.
The blue corn!
The oester in the beer (an idea for the Irish breakfast?!).
The salt in the beer.
The construction of the current city of Mexico above the existing Aztec building…
