Carnicería.

It is obvious that Méxicans are real meat lovers. The following pictures were taken on a market in Fortín de las Flores, a tiny town next to Córdoba . Juan José wanted to show me a real Carnicería. In the meantime, while our meat was prepared, I lost quite a few Pesos on gambling.

After asking for permission to take some photos, the butchers really enjoyed to pose in front of the camera.

Cheap prices for a great pile of fresh flesh.

Rocky used his naked fists to maltreat cow halves. Idiot! A young and well posing butcher with his sharp knife.

Bienvenido a Córdoba, Veracruz.

Plane or bus? Despite of far too narrow seats I really like travelling with busses. If you don't choose to take a five hours nap you can experience a glancing view at the landscape. On my way from Mexico-City to Córdoba, Veracruz I chose to travel by ADO. Moreover the bus is quite cheaper than a flight.

Citlaltépetl, 5.636 meters above sea-level and therefore higher than every mountain of the Alps. Thank God, I have seen 500 Days of Summer one week before. Otherwise I could not have snatched my eyes away from the TV screen.

A warm welcome by the Local Committee in Veracruz.

Thanks to Juan José and his family for the hospitality they have offered me that night! I think I will teach him some Ollies from gratitude.

No somos Mariachis, somos Jarochos! Seems to be equal? Well, ask a fellow Verocruzian.

Joined the band, got into a fight, started a solo-career. Sounds familiar?

Private BBQ with Tacos, Empanadas and a lot of spicy Salsas. Everyone warned me about the hottest Salsa. Sometimes I am a curious little boy.

La abuela was very concerned about me trying her food. On this picture I have to choose between chicken and pork for my Empanadas. I have decided in favor for pork.

Bienvenido a México.

Finally arrived in México. After some issues with my visa, a 24 hours trip and a broken notebook cable I spent the first day in Mexico-City. It is an absolutely awesome and inconceivable big city. Too big to explore it on one day. The following pictures were taken in the historical center of México-City.

Today I am going to travel to Córdoba, Veracruz, the place of my internship at Casa Hogar de Córdoba. Really looking forward to meet some great people over there! I will try to upload the video I have edited which introduces myself to the children in the orphanage.

Enjoy my first impressions of México!
