Cacaxtla

Last Sunday (the 18th), a couple of fellow volunteers were down visiting Puebla. I met up with them at the central bus station, and we headed up to Tlaxcala to visit another volunteer. We then went as a group to Cacaxtla, which is a a set of ruins between Tlaxcala and Puebla. It was only discovered in 1975 and many of the murals are still brightly colored! It was amazing to see how long the paint had lasted!!



If you look at Google Earth, Cacaxtla looks like a giant, white block. Why? Because the Mexicans installed a giant roof over the top of the ruins!



Then on Wednesday, my center hosted a piano concert for one of its summer courses. The husband and wife team played some solos and some duets, and I really enjoyed the music.
