Mexico Dia Cuarenta Cuatro
¡Mexico City Dia Dos!
We all woke up at around 9:00 and took showers. We then went to look for a restaurant for breakfast. We found a Vegetarian Restaurant nearby, se llamo "Vegetariano Madero." The food was amazing. The pan dulce was delicious and made with integral (wheat bread). I got fresh squeezed carrot juice and molletes (beans, cheese, and salsa over bread). It was a welcome change to have some more american and healthy food. After breakfast we departed for Teotihuacan. The city of Teotihuacan is home to the ancient pyramids of the Teotihuacan (a great mesoamerican civilization). They were really amazing and much larger than I had expected. There were two large pyramids (the pyramid of the sun and moon) and many smaller ruins around them. I bought a large hand made blanket decorated with a woven picture of the sun. I also bought a little pottery turtle that functions as a flute. Unfortunately, while we were on top of the pyramid of the moon it started to rain really badly. We had to run down the pyramid while lightening stuck nearby. On the bus ride back to Mexico City I met some italians and checkoslavakians who were really friendly and had cool accents.
We got back and were hungry so we went to the same vegetarian restaurant for dinner. I got fresh guava juice, a vegetable soup, and a pastry filled with beans and plantanes. It was delicious. After dinner we went back to the hotel and rested for awhile. After which we went out to see the city. It was kinda of empty that night, so we didn´t stay out too long.
Despues...zzz.
