... stairs, the view was very good. The preformance are was a rather small circular area. I found out that usually before any concert there are two things: Chicken or Cock fights and bingo. So the pre-show is all about betting and bringing in money. I did not participate in either but say others. First was the chicken fights. For the most part it was not as bad as what I imagined in my head. I think I thought it would be more crual or gruesome, but it was not as ...

... have gone on forever, even though it is not possible it appeard that way. I would have missed it if Lili hadn't pointed it out to me because i was busy being amazed by a much smaller one that went down. Being in the pyramid was really cool for me, and unlike anything i've ever seen before. And it was extra cool because Lili had never been inside herself, so we both experienced it for the first time together, which was cool ...

I found some really cool postcards. The second time was to look at chipanzees and goats...I spent all my time at the chimps...i am framilure enough with goats and i really like monkeys!

... the state. From there we went to the Cathedral of Santiago.This was started in 1745 and it dominates the rather impressive plaza. The entrance portal is covered in "Churrigueresque figures and elaborately carved columns of pale grey stone. It is reputedly one of the finest in Mexico. Inside the transepts are full of gilt ornamentation and at the very top of the dome you can just make out a human figure looking down the aisle ...

... the new modular housing is actually quite ugly!): However, it soil maintains a traditional¨"Zona Central" complete with a beautiful cathedral, museums and cultural centers and colonial architecture. The stop was also scheduled to be a ´car day¨ for maintenance on the bus. We decided to hit the local Museo de Aver (bird museum) and do car work the next morning. Mexico boasts over 1000 species of birds so we decided to get educated on what our exposure would be. Having now ...

... smelling mud on our skin like a spa treatment. This of course led to mud fighting. On the way back my prof and I chilled in the shallow water chatting as the fish kept biting our feet. They really like eating dead skin cells. My A.T. prof, Lonny, got two fish teeth stuck in his feet. I got out of the water and word got around I know how to braid so I ended up braiding 7 or 8 people's hair. My prof. Lonny likes having his hair in cornrows so I told him I would give it a ...
