Mexico: Day 12

Today we had to get up early again because my mom hired a tour guide to take us places. Her son drove us. The tour guide was small and old, but she was a lot more friendly than the tour guide yesterday. Her son had a hairdo like Skrillex... But it was curly and none of it was shaved. And he had a lip ring. And he looked middle-eastern. And SUPER TALL. It was kinda scary.

The first place we went to was some sort of ruins. No one was allowed in, but we could look over it. A little boring because there wasn't much to it. It was also really early and I was tired.
After that, we went to some sort of church and the tour guide told us about the virgin of Guadalupe.
Then we went to Teotihuacan. It was really big and old and had a lot of stairs. We climbed to the top of the sun temple, I think, and I found some obsidian fragments.
Walking around, I felt something wet drop on my leg. Okay, I thought it was some water. Then I looked back and saw some sort of orangish substance. Fine, I thought a bird had dropped something on me. Strange thing was that there were no birds around. I walked around and tried to scrape it off of some rocks, only to turn back and see a large puddle of barf the same color as the substance that was on my leg.

SOMEONE PUKED ON ME. GROSS.
UGH.

Then we climbed down to walk to the moon temple, I think. But only my mom went up that one to take pictures. I found more obsidian. I really like obsidian. It's sooo pretty.
After that we went for lunch at a small restaurant. The food was pretty good, just some of it wasn't stuff I like, like tuna and overcooked beef.

We went back to the hotel after that and just stayed there for the rest of the day. Later on, I started feeling sick, but I didn't barf. My sister did though, so I drowned it out with ponies. Ugh, barf. I had a piece of cake for dinner because it was free and I didn't have much of an appetite.

  1. There is a place where no birds fly? Where they do not cheer up the people with delightful singsong tones? Where the solemn philosopher cannot enjoy their meditation, his/her thinking not accompanied by the melodious chirps of flying creations?

    That is depressing. There, there is no rainbow over which the bluebirds fly. Where Dorothy can't dream her way out of the farm.

    Did I tell you that a bird pooped on me in Australia once?

    I was walking along in the foresty part of the resort on Heron Island, and a bird pooed on my dress.
    :(

  2. Teotihuacan...it sounds kinda familiar. Maybe I heard it in history class or something. Didn't the native guys use obsidian to make arrowheads? How much puke got on you? Once I ate a Costco hotdog and went skiing. Then I threw up in from of the car...it had chunks of reddish hotdog in it. What did the puke on your leg have?
