Cloudy Monolyths

Sunday we went to Bernal, which happens to be the third biggest monolyth in the world. However there were no people climbing it because it was very rainy and very foggy and very cloudy when we went there, of course. So you hike to the base, and then you climb it, right, and when you get to the top, you can look down into it (because its an ex-volcano) and see the crater with the eternal ice and stuff. So kinda officailly and kinda unofficially, it is my goal to climb that! There is even a really cute little hostal right at the base of it all that you can stay at. As well as WONDERFUL gorditas all over town. This town is known for three things, 1. monolyth 2. gorditas and 3. opal (espcially fire opal). Its a very small place but has some of the greatest things ever! Maybe I'll climb it when I move to Queretaro in 2 years to teach ;) ha.

I teach again on Thursday, about special days. That should be a fun lesson! And tomorrow I get to teach the concept of backwards. That should be an interesting concept for them to try and grasp in English.

9 days and counting.
