Abenteuerin: Villahermosa

This past weekend was a 4 day weekend for us English teachers because of Mexican Independence Day. I took a trip way down south to Chiapas, Mexico with 6 other teachers. We left from Tehuacan on Friday night at 9:30pm and arrived in Tabasco (a state next to Chiapas) the next day after a little set back. That set back being getting off the ADO charter bus at the wrong stop -_- With all the travelling I've done you'd think I would know to ask if we're at the right stop! I think it was because we were all very excited to get off the bus and be at our destination. So after this set back we got on the bus for 1 more our and arrived in Villahermosa. One of the teachers lives with a host family in Tehuacan and this family has a sister named Isa who picked us up from the airport and showed us around all day. Isa and her husband were so nice, driving us around all day to the see the beautiful and exciting things in Villahermosa.

The first thing we did was eat! Then we went to the Parque Museo La Venta. It has animals and artifacts from the Olmecs. After this everyone was hungry so we ate lunch, went to see a church and ate ice cream in the center of town. They had seats up and ready for El Grito on Monday, the 15th. After this there was a long ride to their house because of traffic. We got ready at their house and then took off again to see a light show and eat pizza for dinner. It was such a nice day, especially because Isa and her husband were so accommodating to us! This was only the first night! It gets better from here...

We couldn't figure out what kind of animal this was. We asked a man and he said a name but we didn't know what the English equivalent was! Then we read a sign that said it is a badger.
