Woke up entirely too early this morning. Well..ok so i stayed up too late last night, otherwise things would have been fine. At about 2:00 something in my room started beeping and i couldnt figure out what it was. It was driving me insane! Leata thinks I am crazy..she never heard it. Anyway morning started at 7 AM! woot! Our mama made us pancakes and we had fruit. No me gusto mango..pero watermelon esta bien.
Loaded the bus and drove into Mexico city. Three younger boys sat right in front of us and kept us slightly entertained with comments about splitting atoms to make anti-matter, creating bombs and using laser swords...actually we kind of kept ourselves entertained by quietly mocking them..it was all in fun, they are pretty cool kids.
I fell asleep of course, as most modes of transportation tend to make me super sleepy. And i woke up in Teotihuacan :) the city of the gods. We took a tour that was long and i have heard most of it before so i spent most of the time bargaining with street vendors. I bought a present! The first one, but more to come if money permits..and i hope it does. Let's hope the parents remembered to pick up my paycheck...
Street vendors are usually good at bargaining about things..but they are super persistent. If you dont think you want to buy something, dont even look at it! They will follow you around for an hour. Trust me, it happened. But i am super happy with what i ended up getting.
After the tour we went to have lunch. Mi mama made me a sandwhich..tomato, turkey, queso de fresa y avocado. It sounds weird, but it was amazing. After lunch tequila shots for everyone...ok so they had a table set up showing how tequila was made. We still got the shots. I had to explain to half a dozen people how to do the salt/lime/shot thing. *Sigh* four shots in and i was happy and ready to go climb pyramids :)
No joke, thats what we did. I climbed the temple of the sun god. Not sure exactly how high it is, but check out the pictures on facebook. i will find the height at somepoint and post it on here. After lots of climbing and some fun pictures i was chased around by yet more vendors. A dollar for a silver bracelet? Yeah ok..it will make your whole body turn green and your arm fall off for that price. Anyway..then on to the bus and another 3 hours bus ride. Back home to mi mama y papa y comida :)
then i realized exactly how sunburnt i was as i scoreched myself in the shower. aaaand i have been facebooking for the last hour and have posted pictures :) yay me
Class tomorrow, so time for bed
