Hola!
I want to write in Spanish, but haven't figured out how to make the accents work yet. Have you all?
Thought I better connect today since I won't have internet for a couple of days!
Today we felt brave enough to figure out the subway/metro system in the city. It was actually quite easy, but we still managed to get on the wrong subway for about 15 minutes! We took it up to the enormous bus station. There were no less than 300 options of places to take the bus from the city - including Dallas, Texas and Chicago! Can you imagine taking a bus from Mexico City to Chicago?!
Anyway, we took the bus to Teotihuacan the ancient city of the Toltec and Aztec Indians. It was so hot and dry when we got there that we had to immediately get the boys some lunch. We walked about 2 miles and discovered a restaurant that was in an old cueva (cave) where the Aztecs used to store their grains. It was super neat and almost too cold.
After we decreased our body temperatures and filled our stomach on authentic quesadillas and carne de res we summitted the world's 3rd largest pyramid. (El Piramide del Sol).
It really did take our breath away since we are at 7200 feet and the pollution is less than desirable! We then visited many of the other ruins and learned who lived where in the 22 square km expanse. Let me tell you, if you were not one of the Kings/Rulers, it was one tough life. We are lucky to be born thousands of years later!
We are off to San Miguel tomorrow - a 5 hour bus ride from here.
Hasta luego! Buen dia!!!
Abrazos...
