Deciding what to do on our last day in Puebla was difficult, but I think we made the most of it, as we did our entire trip. We had our typical breakfast of Mexican fruit (papaya, mango, and guava) with yogurt, and visited our favourite coffee shop in the nearby mall for a cappuccino and a croissant. Then we took a taxi to the water park Agua Azul for some sunbathing and a bit of swimming. I even tried out the rope swing into the shallow pool this time round, and managed not to injure myself!

While we lay in the sun I contemplated the future. Just a few months of classes left, and then I will officially be a teacher. I have absolutely no idea where life will take me as of September. I don’t think the near future has ever been this uncertain for me before. It is both a little scary and a lot exciting all at once.

We finished our day where all roads seem to lead in Mexican cities – the zocalo. We wandered the shops and open-air markets, buying the last of our souvenirs and taking in the atmosphere for the last time – on this trip anyways. We had a supper of our favourite Mexican dish, enchiladas con mole poblano, at a cute little restaurant in the middle of a market. Finally, right before leaving, we had a piece of our hair wrapped in the style of the locals as a momento of our incredible Mexico experience.
