More pictures

This is the front of the school. My room is the one on the far right-hand side, with the balcony. That is Steve in the foreground, showing Jorge and Ceci and Jorge's friend how to cast a flyrod -- in the middle of the street! Mind you, they do not speak a word of English, but Steve doesn't care about that, he keeps explaining anyway. We joked that he was "pescando taxis", or "fishing for taxis" -- which were whizzing by at death-defying speeds.
Here we have the mall, "Plaza of the Americas", which is halfway between Veracruz and Boca del Rio. Beautiful place, with many nice stores. 2 movie theatres, tons of restaurants, etc. Lots of sushi places in the area, since Veracruz is famous for its seafood, of course.



A side street in Boca Del Rio.



A view of the Gulf of Mexico taken over the tops of some very fancy homes.





This one is of me on the bridge that goes over the freeway to the mall.
