BEST WEEKEND YET HERE IN MEXICO! We have not had many weekends yet, but this weekend was by far the best. Last night we got home super late from our trip in Las Grutas, and this morning our padre surprised us with a day trip to Pozos. We were SO HAPPY! This trip was unlike anything I had seen before. Sergio and Lulu took us to a famous ghost town in Mexico. We really are located in the best spot, this famous little ghost town was only 2 hours away from us. And let me tell you this was the real deal.
When we first arrived to Pozos Sergio took us to a little gift shop, but this was no ordinary gift shop. The owner of the shop gave us a demonstration of how the people of Pozos mined for gold back in the day. The gold was the reason why this city thrived, and when they ran out.. everyone abandoned it. In the demonstration we got to go inside of a mine and inside the mine there was a gruta. There was water in the bottom and a waterfall coming through the mine. All of a sudden the man told us to start swimming. "WHAT." We had not planned for this haha. But we all followed and went neck deep in the mine water. IT WAS FREEZING. There were nails all in the walls, we could only see with one little light, and we had to go through the tiniest of spaces. It was actually a little sketchy, but IT WAS SO WORTH IT.
After the mine Sergio surprised us with the best pizza place ever! Sergio thinks everything is the best food ever (even when it is horrible hah) but this was for real some of the best pizza ever. It was not the rubber tasting pizza we had been eating from the corner market back in San Jose! This was the real deal. This pizza was the Pizzaria Limone of Mexico. Probably the one and only hah. I am not exaggerating when I said I had the least amount of slices and I ate 7... that is how good the pizza was! We had been craving good pizza for what seemed like forever. My personal favorite was the Hawaiian. Pineapple on pizza is THE BEST!
After piling way too much food into our stomachs we headed to the abandoned castles. This was definitely a ghost town. The biggest houses and buildings were completely worn down, and ancient looking. I think these dated back to another time period because these were OLD! But, I do not know spanish and we had no tour guide, so we went off of Greyson's translation from Sergio. Everything was HUGE. Giants could have lived here, no joke. It would have been so cool to see it in all its glory. The whole city was built off of a hillside and it was so pretty. Rolling hills as far as you could see.
Super random, but one of the coolest parts of the day was this super huge super deep hole. We threw soooo many bricks down this hole. It took about 30 seconds for us to hear it hit the bottom. Like I said, it was deep. Sergio especially loved throwing rocks down the hole! We even all adventured out on our own to find bigger rocks to throw down it hah.
After exploring the ancient ruins all day we finally headed home. Just in time to watch the Steelers game with Sergio and LuLu. Greyson and Sergio can go on and on about football hah. Greyson has not told him he hates the steelers yet though.. we enjoyed the rest of the night eating popcorn and watching football.
It was seriously the best weekend. We adore this place! After this week of teaching we have an Independence day party for Mexico where we will be dancing in front of the school (AHH) and we have our first 5 day vacation. We are seriously so excited for it. It is going to be an exciting week. Wish us luck! Especially because we still do not have a dance teacher yet... YIKES!
