So many colors, so many smells, so many people, and oh so much smog!! Mexico City has surpassed our expectations in every way so far. The first thing we noticed as we descended into the city is how bright and colorful the houses and buildings are, pink, green, purple, orange... everywhere you look more color seems to be jumping to life. In comparison to LA, Mexico City is like a big bowl of fruit next to a dry piece of bread.
Getting from place to place has been a breeze. The metro is easy to navigate, the taxis' are cheep, and everyone has been more than helpful. The hostel we are staying at is great, run by a gay couple who act like they are everyone's favorite uncles. The rooms are cozy and quite, everything we could ask for after a long day of travel.
Today was full of walking, history lessons, and generally gaining our bearings. We started our day at the Museum of Anthropology which you could literally spend years exploring, beefed up on our mexican history and got inspired to explore some ruins. From there we walked for miles exploring the city until our calves were aching. We found a small restaurant, sat outside and enjoyed a delicious meal and a bottle of wine to finish off our day. Not a bad way to start a new adventure!
Keep posted to see pictures, movies, and many stories. Love to you all!!!!

ReplyDeleteOle pals! I'm so excited to know that you guys are back on the road, I love it! Not sure what your plans are, I don't like making many myself, but if you guys make it back to Guatemala you should try to get to Las Conchas and stay at Oasis Chiyu! It is in the middle of nowhere and ya'll would absolutely love it. No electricity, all organic vegetarian meals and guided hikes through the mountains, for like $25 all inclusive per day! The guy who runs it is from Philly and he and his girlfriend are amazing! Anyway, if you are in that area, its about an hour west of Rio Dulce, check it out!
ReplyDeleteLove you kids!
