Mexico City



Mexico was an awesome experience! We were able to see so many different sights as well as learn a lot about the different "welfare" programs that Mexico has to offer. There are too many experiences to share in one post, so I thought that I would just show a few pictures for now and maybe talk about some of the experiences later. We stayed in Mexico City for three days. Here, we toured historic downtown, where the cathedral, Presidential Palace, etc. were. It was beautiful, but there was a lot of people. They had set up a huge bigscreen tv in the center so that everyone could gather and watch the world cup, so it got a little crazy on Sunday, when Mexico played Argentina (and lost). It was fun to see the big city.


The Mexican flag that is hanging over the Zocalo (the main square) in Mexico City.


The whole group in a Sanborn's Restaurant (in an old mansion in Mexico City)


Me and the Aztec Calender (the real thing) in the Anthropology Museum.
