			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Took a stroll around town after class.  One of the places I went into was El Refugio.  When it was built in 1865 it was one of the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_buildings_in_the_world" title="List of largest buildings in the world" rel="wikipedia">largest buildings in the world</a>.  Now it&#8217;s a cultural center and museum.  The museum was free and it was pretty remarkable.  The first thing that struck me was just how many items were just sitting on display tables unprotected by glass barriers.  Some of the things looked very fragile.  It was work from all over Mexico and a lot of it was extremely vibrant and detailed.  I would have liked to have taken some pics but they had lots of signs saying no photography.</p>
<p>Finally got around to ordering this gadget from <a class="zem_slink" href="http://ebay.com" title="eBay Marketplace" rel="homepage">eBay</a> that another touring rider introduced me to.  It&#8217;s call an immersion heater and all you do with it is plug into the wall, drop it in your water-filled cup and wait for it to boil.<a href="http://www.powercycle.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/heater.jpg" rel="lightbox[1856]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-33" style="border-bottom: 0px none; float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 1px;" images="" src="http://www.powercycle.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/heater.jpg" width="80" height="80"></a>  It&#8217;ll save me a lot of aggravation in the mornings where normally I&#8217;d be struggling to find a place to get coffee and some food.  Now I can make my own right in the motel room.  Should help save some cash too.</p>
<p>Tomorrow I&#8217;m taking a trip out of town to a place called Los <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guachimontones" title="Guachimontones" rel="wikipedia">Guachimontones</a>.  It&#8217;s a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Columbian_era" title="Pre-Columbian era" rel="wikipedia">pre-Columbian</a> <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeological_site" title="Archaeological site" rel="wikipedia">archaeological site</a> near the town of Teuchitlan.  There are some pyramids along with some other building complexes.  Should be fun.  It&#8217;s through the school so I&#8217;ll even have a guide.</p>
