Daily outing-historical town

Sometimes our daily outings consist of museum trips, market shopping, or trying different experiences native to Veracruz. 

The other day we went to a really old, historical town. The houses are not allowed to be renovated, in order to preserve the historical value. 
Angelica (one of our teachers) explained that a lot of the houses there don't have deeds or paperwork of any kind, because they've all been passed down from generation to generation. The colors and differences in the housing are really beautiful!! 
It's pretty weird to see new cars next to houses like these. Almost like time travel. :) 



I was just in awe of all the bright colors and how the houses aren't all cookie cutter, exact replicas of each other like we seem to have now-a-days. 


I also saw an Alcoholics Anonymous house. 



And a puppy that looked JUST like my Ozzie back home!! So cute! Guess what his name was?!?!
Vodka!!! Hahahaha 


Here are statues of two historical peeps in Veracruz. Sadly, I can't remember their names. :/ 
The man was a poet, an actor, and he sang. As I was told, despite being quite unattractive, due to his poetic abilities he was quite the ladies man and often had quite a few girlfriends. 
The we walked near the beach a little. :) Sadly, I still haven't had the chance to go onto the beach quite yet. Soon!!
