Typical weekend dangerous market, drinking eating and X-mas caroling

Friday after class 1pm we headed out for lunch at our favorite buffet. After 2.5 hours of feasting we all went to Tule, at town famous for its large tree. Its recorded at the stumpiest tree in the world and is around 1600 years old not bad for a tiny town.

Saturday morning we went to the largest outdoor market in latin america, something like 17sq. blocks, were unable to take pictures because everyone told us it would be too dangerous to carry a camera around the market. We could buy almost anything from live animals, to furniture wish we had pictures of it. That same night we met up with some classmates at a local rock bar.

Sunday we thought would be a day of rest but no. Our building was having its Posada local festival to celebrate Marys walk to find a place for the birth of Jesus.
