Combi Surfing

I told you earlier that we use "Combi Mini Buses" to get to school. They are usually crowdede, so I invented the sport of "Combi Surfing". These vehicles are not made for people over 5 foot 6

inches. The ride is bumpy and exciting.

Holes in the Sidewalks

The only thing I am afraid of here is tripping over a staube or stepping into a hole here and ruining a perfectly good day (or year). I´ve come to appreciate our public works.

Mexico City for the day

Yesterday we went for Mexico City for the day. We were able to see the great pyramids at Teotihuacan, Bosque Chapultepec, and the Zocolo (main plaza). It was a long day but we were able to see many things. Very tired of churches, but I think we will see more.



Here is Chase at the top of the Castillo at Chapultapec Park. The view of Mexico City was phenomenal from here.






The first photos are of Wendy and I at the top of the pyramid of the Sun (very hard to climb - but we did it).

Here is a photo of Wendy, and Chase at lunch with our schoolmates. It is a wonderful restaurant called ¨"Zanahoria" or the carrot. It´s vegetarian and really a great place to eat. We eat there almost every day.

Here is Chase and I with our guides. Paula and Alejandro attend the university here. They are wonderful. We saw 2 churches today. One of them had a real dead body of a beatified cleric. You can see a few of his toes are missing because some people thought a calcified toe of a guy who has 2 certified miracles would be good luck. We went with Wendy today (she took the picture).

Lucha Libre - Rasslin Mexico Style

This past Monday, a group of us from the school (including Wendy) wen to the wrestling arena for some good time. It was big fun. These guys are great acrobats, and no one really gets hurt, unlike the bullfights. It´s an event for the whole family (really).

The food is as good as the show. I had beer and peanuts with hot sause. We ar going again next week.

Riding Horses in Mexico

Last weekend we wen to Calpan (around 45 minutes from here and road in the mountains.
