We know that we skipped a day of blogging, but let us just say that we have a lot to share.
Yesterday for breakfast we had cheese covered potatoes, fruit, and yogurt. Mama still is serving the Papaya. We think she's holding out for us to like it one of these days. Poor Mama. We took our first set of exams, and we think we did pretty well.
We played the Mexican Sorry! game with our curt teacher after our exam. It was fun. After our Coversation test, we showed our teacher pictures from Facebook and told her about them.

For comida on Friday we had spaghetti again, but every time we have noodles, they are completely different... and delicious. These were in some sort of creamy sauce with tomato and oniony flavor. The other thing we had was called "al hambre" or from hunger. It was chicken, bacon, peppers, onions, and a brothy sort of sauce. Sarah picked out only chicken, and you're supposed to eat it on a tortilla with beans. Jillian ate mostly salsa. The salsa keeps getting spicier, and Jillian's cheeks get pinker every time we eat.
After a short nap, we went to el Centro to hang out a little. To celebrate, we had a local fave, a Cubana. It's a corona with tons of lime juice in it in a salt-rimmed glass. Yum.

This morning we ate eggs and ham with fruit, yogurt, and coffee again at 8am. We then went to the piramides de Teopanzolco. They are some kind of Indian ruins. It was really cool. On the grounds, they found the remains of 96 dismembered bodies of women, men, and children along with these weird clay figures also with mutilated apendages. Doesn't that sound like fun? It signifies that there were probably mass human sacrifices held on this particular piece of land. Scary stuff aside, the experience was very cool. Then we took a cab to the Palace of Cortez, and whet to the museum of Cuauhnahuac. It has lots of cool artifacts from the native people and also the Conquistadors. It is held in a palace built by the Spaniards. History tells us that the palace was built on top of a pyramid. The Conquistadors knocked down the temple, and put a palace on top.
When we came home, we had Comida with our favorite Uncle, Victor, and his son Victor Jr., and Mama. We had deeeelicious chicken, with rice, and tortillas. To Jillian's delight, Mama made a new batch of salsa, red this time! After comida, Victor had a good laugh trying to get Sarah to pronounce a name of a Mexican city. You should give it a try. It is called "Parangaricutirimicuaro." Good luck. When Victor handed Sarah the napkin on which Mama had written the town name, Sarah asked Jillian "You don't think this is like Sofa King, do you?" To which Jillian replied "hahahahahahaha."
fter Victor got a good laugh at Sarah's attempts, Victor and Mama wanted to know what "sofa king" is. After a little bit of internal debate, we complied. Hearing our sweet little Mama, and crazy uncle Victor say "sofa king stupid" with Spanish accents, we almost died of laughter. Don't think we are exploiting our Mexican family for humor's sake. They insisted that we tell them what we were laughing about for about 15 minutes. We just caved... much to our delight. Paco, told us yesterday that he would have to teach us bad words to that we could get a full education... We declined. We hope he was joking, but for some reason, we think not.
Our sweet puppy, Jagger, went to the Pretty Puppies Parlor to get a bath and his nails trimmed today. What a handsome fellow. We love him.

More puppy pictures to come.
How Sweet. Jillie helps this man hold his torch.
Sarah meets the Conquistadors... :)
Sarah has many men to choose from here in Cuernavaca.
Jillian rips out the heart of a fossilized man... He was ripped open from gullet to gonads by the Mayans, and then got his heart sacrificed to the gods.
This is the man Sarah chose... Her new novio
This game is a Mayan fave. Unfortunately, the losing team was sacrificed to the gods. Jillian has never been very good at sports... needless to say, her team lost.
Check out the facts about sacrifice in good ole' Cuernavaca at the temple.
This is what remains of the temple. It is now in walking distance of a Starbucks.Well...
That is all for now. We think it is going to rain... again. Lucky for us, it rained last night while we slept, and it really helps with the heat. The sky is somewhat blackish, entonces, it will probably rain again. The sky's tummy is rumbling with thunder. In the words of the great Garth Brooks, the thunder rolls, and the lightening strikes.
Love, Jillie and Say.
