Hola mis parientes y amigos! Parientes is extended family, so don't think I'm leaving out people, Brandy. I've been back from Mexico City for a couple of days but haven't been able to upload my photos yet. I'll get them up today if that guy in the Cubs hat gets off my computer. So Mexico City. Its big. Called El Distrito Federal, or just México here. We took a van made for midgets and packed fifteen people into it for the three hour drive. I needed sleep but instead got to cuddle. But once we arrived we headed straight for the house of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. The house is beautiful and full of original paintings that most of you should know. After that we saw Olympic Stadium, where the 1968 olympics were held, just after the massacre of 3000 students in the center of Mexico City. Those are the same olympics that are famous for the black US athletes fists of protest. That night we stayed at a hostel right off the central zocolo, a plaza outside the Palacio Nacional, where Diego Rivera's 16 years of mural painting masterworks reside and the presidente has his official office. Also around here are the ruins of the main temple of the Aztec empire and the Catedrial Nacional. I'll say more about all of these when I comment on the pictures. Oh, we also went to an open market for artists and I saw some of the most beautiful paintings I've ever seen, in or out of a museum. If I was a rich snob needing to fill the lonelyness of my mansion with other peoples passion, I'd go there. Sunday morning we were there for the beginnings of protests over the presidential election results. The zocolo was full of maybe 30,000 people and by the end of the day, most of the traffic in Mexico City was stopped by protests all over the city. Luckily we left early for the Museum of Anthropology, which was amazing, and then Teotiauacon. We got a brief tour of the Juguar Room, some underground ruins, and then climbed the Piramide of the Sun and the Piramide of the Moon. Again, more in the pictures. All in all, it was a great trip that gave me a decent feel for a few areas of Mexico City. No one was killed, lots of girls were whistled at, and no cerveza was spared. Forgive my spelling as this sight has no spell-checker and I'm beginning to confuse spanish and english. I hope all is well and I'll let you know if I go to the Lucho Libre event this weekend. I'M OUT!
