After weaving, we headed over to a store that sold mezcal, a local alcohol. Here, we learned about the process:
 |
| You start with the heart of the maguey plant. |
 |
| There are different types of it - here are two examples they had at the distillery. |
 |
| A bunch of them are cooked... |
 |
| ...then crushed by a horse pulled wheel. |
 |
| Next, you place the crushed plant into a vat... |
 |
| ...where it is allowed to ferment. |
 |
| You collect the alcohol here. |
 |
| And ta-dah! |
 |
| There were many flavors and sizes to choose from, and a lot of the other students bought them as gifts. |
 |
| There are even some with worms in them! |
We also went to see a baseball game. This was my first game, and lucky for me it was free for women! The guys in black are part of the home team, the Guerreros.
 |
| At the start, the stadium was mostly empty, but started to fill up as it got later. |
 |
| Cheerleaders? Definitely not the type in the US, but nonetheless there to rile up the fans. |
 |
| And who could forget the mascot! |
