Saturday we were stuck counting inventory at the plant all day. However, I truely believe everything happens for a reason and this time was no different. Had I not been in front of my computer all day, I never would have received an e-mail from my sister telling me....SHE'S ENGAGED!! It took every ounce of self control I had to not jump up and down screaming in the conference room when I got the news!
For those of you who think that being an accountant is no fun, you would be mistaken. Saturday while I was counting inventory, I got to play "dress up". The attached picture shows me in my hard hat and goggles. What you can see are my sweet Dow issued steel-toed shoes. Next to me is the in-charge auditor (who strangely enough was also a Kappa at Wash U in St. Louis.When we finally made it back to the hotel there wasn't much else to do but relax and wait for dinner. And that's exactly what I did.
Sunday, our driver came to pick us up at 10 to take us out and about. Oh, but I would like to first talk about breakfast. Every day I get this delicious fruit and yogurt cup with granola for breakfast. It's beautiful when I get it and it tastes even better. I like it so much I even took a picture of it but since I don't have my camera cord, that will have to be attached at another time. However, on the weekend they have a huge brunch buffet. Frankly everything is so covered in sauce that I couldn't really see what it was so I stuck to the fruit section but everyone else seemed to be enjoying their meals so I'm sure it was good.
Our first stop for site-seeing was a city called Cholula (which some of you might regonize at the hot sauce you see at a lot of Mexican restaurants). We thought there were going to be pyramids but for some reason there wasn't (and the reason was lost in translation). But there were ruins of an old sacrificial alter where children between the ages of 6 and 7 were sacrificed so it would rain. There was also a church that we had to climb several steps to get to but the view from the top was worth it.
Our next stop was a city named Puebla. There is large cathedral but strangely enough it's closed on Sundays. I can't explain it. There was also a huge "art" fair. I put art in quotes b/c while there was jewelry and other hand made items there was also a lot of...junk. Old locks with keys, keys that go to nothing, tiny empty bottles (some with a little leftover stuff that seems to have molded), coin collections, and all sorts of other stuff that would just clutter a house. But as the saying goes "one man's trash is another man's treasure" so maybe someone found there treasure there today. We walked around for a while, had lunch and then headed back to Tlaxcala.
On the way home, we discussed the possibilities for next weekend. The original plan was Mexico city but now we're leaning towards a weekend on the beach in Veracruz!! Nothing has been decided yet but that's where my vote is going. I need to do something to fix this sweet tank top tan I got today.
I hope everyone had a good weekend!
