We jumped the gun a bit on the Real de Catorse trip. The end of our stay in Monterrey was fun and relaxing as well. I was able to get a nice haircut from an old mexican barber, as well as being watched by the friend of an old mexican barber. Through a friend of a friend of a friend of a church of an orphanage, we ended up playing with some ninos for a couple days. It was a bizarre scene as we tried to help them memorize paragraphs for their upcoming science fair about how a female lion heights to 175 meters and how dinosaurs died of mass suicide and constipation. It was mostly bizarre because the children were pretending to speak english. For some unknown reason their science fair was all in english forcing them to mimic sounds taught by volunteers. It was somewhat entertaining watching a whole paragraph turn into one long word from the mouth of a 6 year old mexican child, but beyond that im not sure much was being gained.
For those of you not able to enjoy 80 degree weather every day, this is what a lazy day at the park looks like. We also had time to tour the city at night a bit and take some fun pics at the river walk.
We were also able to eat a fine meal off of our hosts new metal Coca-cola table, presented by his vagabond couchsurfers. Sure we found it in a ditch and it was possibly...if not probably covered in various diseases, but it was way cheaper than IKEA and victor dusted it with a broom before we at off of it. We arent animals.
