... have our own room and bathroom. I sleep in the loft above Nilofar (Nilo for short).<br><br>We arrived in Mexico City yesterday and were fortunate to receive an invitation from the President of Mexico to tour his home as a welcome. It was beautiful! Unfortunately, I couldn't take pictures. His home is called Los Pinos or The Pines.<br><br>Afterwards, we headed on the bus for a 2 hour ride through Mexico City (It's the biggest city in ...

... myself and spent most of the flight to LA watching travel docos and Slumdog Millionaire. Was still sort of worried about how I'd end up meeting up with Brendan, he caught a plane to LA the day before and was meant to be busing it down to Mexico City. Anyway after landing in LA i receive an e-mail from Brendan saying he is coming to the airport today and he has booked a flight to Mexico instead. Turns out he booked the same flight by fluke and is probably the smartest thing he ...

... and cakes all equally enormous in size, very tasty!! all for 20p each. Then we set off to visit the site of Teotihuacan, the oldest ruins in this area (built from around AD 0 to 700) and among the largest in Mexico. Absolutely amazing! we climbed three pyramids (knees still ok) and it was great (see photos). Also nice and sunny, climate is quite a change from Belgium, but cold at night. Sunday we plan to move on to Oaxaca. Lots of love, Sandra and Manu

... Hotel Alcatraz where the owner, Herman Hedina Nieto, was waiting to take us in his Chevy Suburban to the El Rosario Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary which was only 6 kilometres away. His Chevy Suburban has a large sign attached to it - Transporte al Sanctuario de la Mariposa. You can stay at Herman's Hotel Alcatraz for 250 pesos a night. (Phone 01-715-1560576). Our group had now grown to 6 people, which would have lowered our price to about 130 pesos or $13 Can ...

We were off the tarmac in San Antonio by 1300, thank God, as I have been starting to feel like that city is sucking the life out of me. Finally off, for a well deserved (at least in my eyes) vacation to Mexico City with Aislynn, where we have been planning to visit her extended family and do some sightseeing as well. The flight was uneventful, except for the free alcoholic beverages, which one almost feels obligated to take advantage of in these days ...

... stroll. It seriously looks like one of those artists' renderings that idealistic planners have drawn before they actually build their monsterous glorified strip-malls. It seems like accordian and flamenco guitar float up from everywhere, echoing around the alleys. Orange trees are everywhere. I basically love the place. Also it's warm.

... our itinerary. Today, we are heading to Madrid to see a bullfight then going to Barcelona tomorrow. Brent will stay in Barc till Wed, and hopefully get all issues squared away by then. I will leave Barc on Tue. morning and head to the south of France to surf a bit. He´ll come and meet me when he can and we´ll continue on the the French Riviera. As for Morocco...we hope to catch a flight out Milan to Marakech for a couple of days.

... Paseando por Sevilla. This was pretty good in my estimation and if you are interested their website is www.paseandoporsevilla.com. Our tour guide ended up being Alfonso and he was very helpful to us. During the tour we got lots of tidbits and we took tons of photos which I am going to share with you. I am not a professional and I beg your forgiveness for my lack of composition skills. The ...

... ask for directions or just attempt speaking with any Spanish speakers. I love it! I think that once I start classes too, that will help with my sentences and whatnot. I also met this guy one night and exchanged numbers with him because he is trying to learn and obviously I'm trying to learn Spanish. I think we're meeting this week for coffee (or not coffee because I don't like coffee) sometime. That's all for now! Hasta luego!

... lo que me dijo que si, pero termine yendome a dormir a otro lado. A todo esto todas mis cosas estaban en la casa del anterior, que igual le habia avisado. Y ya en esta, mi nueva casa, me quede las 3 noches siguientes.
