on a mission to find a machine to make bricks

Today Rudy and I went out on an adventure to Nealtican to find a quality, and inexpensive brick making machine. We could never find the place that we were originally looking for, and we ended up at 4 or 5 other brick making places, talking to them about how many bricks each machine can make at a time, how many people are needed to operate it, and how soon it can be ready. It was a good time.

Rudy wants to make his own bricks in Huatulco to build his house, and then continue making bricks and sell them so he can retire in 5 years.

We stopped at a roadside stand where a young guy was selling fresh-squeezed orange juice for 50 cents. It was the best stuff I've ever had. I'm already addicted.

We drove close to volcano, Popocatépetl, because Nealtican was closer to it than we are. So I took a lot more pictures. Nice and clear and smoke coming out the top.

After that, we drove to Cholula and ate a couple quesadillas for lunch and looked at an old pyramid. The quesadillas were made up right there. We had mushrooms on them. The base of this pyramid is larger than any in Egypt. It was conqured like 4 times, and each time covered over in dirt and made into whatever religious symbol the conquerers had. So, right now it is a huge Catholic church.

We went downtown after that and found my school. It is just a door with no sign. But, we looked at the website, and we were at the right place. There is a cute coffee shop across the street and I am about 4 blocks from the Zocalo.

Max and Lex will be here within the hour.

So, everytime I post these, it records the time as 2 hours earlier than it really is. it is 4:09.
