Why there are so many benches in public places in Mexico, and other riddles

Yes, there appear to be an ample number of benches on which to recline in various parks and all of the zocalos (dead centers of towns, where evey day is a kind of carnival of street vendors selling foods and balloons) everywhere I´ve been so far in Mexico, and I think I figured out why. Everyone here is in love with their significant other, and people like to lounge, recline, embrace on these public benches for the world to see, which is sweet I suppose. If you´re into all that public display of affection stuff. Anyway, that´s my theory on why there are so many benches here. In other shocking news, there was snow over the long weekend in Mexico City, which, may I remind you all, is less than an hour north of Cuernavaca and is where I will hopefully be flying out from in only a few days time. In the north of Mexico, there has been snow and "frigid" cold for some time now...it´s been a very strange winter all over. Yes, its my last week in Cuernavaca, and in Mexico, as next monday I fly to Peru. I´m very excited. But first a few recaps: Last week my class, along with my very cool teacher, went to the Luchas Libres. For those of you who have seen "Nacho Libre" with Jack Black, yes, they still exist in Mexico. Luchas Libres are these theatrical fights, like WWF but much more theatrical and quite funny. Anyway, when I heard that there was one on thurday night last week, I was all over that. So a few kids from my class and our teacher went, and the first of four fights was pretty funny, but after that they got a bit repetitive. But, they wear those funny masks and do all sorts of silly things, so it was a good time. And I bought my brother a little gift (it should be, hopefully, on it´s way home). Over the weekend, I went to Tepoztlan, which is the little town I went to the first weekend with my host family, but this time I went back solo to do a little hike up to a pyramid. It was a nice hike and a beautiful, if a little hazy, view from the top. Sunday I laid low and watched part of the superbowl...Monday I went to a little silver mining town called Taxco, and did the whole gringa shopping for cheap silver jewelry for an hour or so, and just relaxed and enjoyed the town in general. It´s built into the side of a pretty decent sized hill and is very cute and quaint. Um, what else...there´s a Mexico vs US soccer game on tonight that I think I will try to catch with some folks, and probably root for Mexico (when in Rome...). Other than that, I just am trying to remember how I fit all my things in my one backpack to get myself here...this weekend I´ll have two nights in Mex City to do some stuff before heading out on monday. Thats all for now....
