Gran Cafe de la Parroquia! The most famous cafe in Veracruz! Fantastic food and the best coffee I found ever since i got to Mexico. And the best part is, they do it the teh-tarik way!
Group photo outside the cafe.
Along the port.
The Naval Headquarters.
Nyan and canon
I can't help but comment on this picture. By right, we were not suppose to sit on the display (there was a sign beside it) but Nyan couldn't resist himself and decided to sit and take a quick picture. Subsequently, all the tourists follow suit.. lol.. Bad example Nyan! Haha..
The famous 5 pesos bus in Veracruz. This is my 1st time riding on a bus ever since i got to Mexico and I must say that it's really a different experience. The thing about buses here is that there are no bus stops. All we have to do is to wait at some junction and when we see the bus coming, we jump, wave, dance and do whatever we want to get the bus driver's attention. And we can get down anywhere we want to. Just press the bell and the driver stops right on the spot. Haha.. We were always on the wrong side of the street so when we see the bus, we will be running across the road to board it.. Haha.. The bus kinda reminds me of those old school buses we see in american movies.. Lol..
Shops next to the port.
Filete a la Veracruzana! Basically, its fried fish with the Veracruz sauce which is made out of tomatoes, olives and onions. I think those are the only ingredients they use but i might have missed out some stuff.. haha..
Some artistic weird looking sculpture along the road.
See those cups we are holding in our hands? The best ice cream in Mexico as claimed by Carla called Guero. I love the ice cream! Haha..
Oops! I didn't mean to touch his butt!

Oops! I didn't mean to touch his butt!So much for all those tourist things we did. Finally we get to see the parade. The crowd was just overwhelming. It looks as though the whole population of Mexico were gathered here for the significant event! Took lots of pictures of the floats! They were beautiful!
The crowd. Anyway, the parade was late by 2 hours, a typical thing that happens every year. Mexican timing!
Nyan and his 2 litre beer. He bought 5 of them. Loco loco.
The police force was the 1st to parade. And what a scene they created when they passed by! The public were chanting "puto" which means gay constantly. As if that wasn't bad enough, they started chanting song that goes like this “hay qué estudiar, hay qué estudiar, si no de policía nos vamos a quedar” which essentially means that if they don't study then they would end up being a police in future. We just joined in the chanting and i actually saw some police waving and smiling back at the people. Corrupted and weird Mexican police. lol..
Superstitions in Mexico.
The guys and their new Veracruz Carnival shirts!
Tacos!
Performance in the Zocalo, central area of Veracruz.
Eggs with beans, Carla's favorite. Haha.. I know it looks disgusting but then it actually taste quite ok! Nyan hates the beans though.

Before leaving Veracruz, we made a discovery while my friend was looking through his rough guide. There was a picture of the guy playing the instruments in the book (picture above) and we suddenly realize he was the guy who was playing the instrument for us at that very moment! So yes, we took the opportunity to take a picture with him before leaving.
