... letters it said "Fashion Evolution". It didn´t look to me like fashion had evolved very far at all.<br><br>The first day I went to see the remains of the old Mexico city that was built by the Aztecs and then pretty much flattened by those friendly conquering Spanish. I ended up doing my job when I met a local guy who wanted to know all about how to go and study in England. Great. He also bored me senseless with tales of how much he loves Coldplay. Bloody Coldplay, everyone loves them ...

... piggy-back rides (for Holly, not me) over river-like drainage runs and deep puddles, we were staring up at the huge pyramid from the base. Streams of water shoot down from protruding stones along the sides, and the steps looked steep, numerous, and slippery! By the time we got to the top we were utterly soaked, cold, and triumphant. Me and Kisiev let loose our best barbaric yawps in the direction of the other pyramid, and I felt more alive, with water ...

... orrore.<br>Per il resto del giorno ci limitiamo a camminare lungo i viali del centro, al momento di salire in camera ci accorgiamo della fatica di essere a 2200 mt, l'ostello è subdolo tu credi di dover salire al terzo piano, ma loro hanno due piani non conteggiati (dove c'è la cucina e l'altro con la sala tv) così in realtà devi arrivare al quinto. Dobbiamo organizzarci bene, perchè una volta scesi, se ti accorgi di aver dimenticato qualcosa, sono tutti cavoli tuoi risalire!!

... we did along with others and they gave us a St. Paul's packet about the church and news of up coming events. We were invited back and one of the parishioners reminded us that we were most welcome to sing in the choir.<br><br>We got a cab in front of the church and asked about a restaurant that served fish. It took a few tries and finally the cabby said pescado, which we recognized and responded si!!!! He drove up to Canal and turned left and entered a part of San Miguel we had not ...

... of the Artist Compound)has just started a new painting in the last couple of days. A knock at the door could be a writer, sculptor dropping in for a visit and then the phone rings we're all invited to someones home for dinner. Within the first few days here I went to an Art Opening (with my roomie Nikos)and an Arts and Craft fair at another art school that I am familiar with. The Art opening at galleria" Athena" was something out of a cartoon ...

... retirees. Again. Strangely, after a dose of 21 year olds, again...., in Guanajuato ;) .... we chose to stay a week in San Miguel. Katy took Spanish lessons and I started to write this thing. We also took in a little culture I´m proud to say - Frida Khalo and Diego Rivera museums are difficult to miss as they are both loved here and quite an interesting pair. I might even have ventured into a cathedral ...

... même la photocopie de mon passeport ou y a écrit "Michaël Salomon¨"né à Jérusalem ISRAEL" (en majuscules), et apres 20 minutes ils mónt quand même dit que ¨"pour des raisons de sécurité on peut pas vous laisser rentrer". Sur le coup jý ai même pas cru tellement ça paraissait impossible. Laisser rentre un Juif dans une syna un soir de shabbat (sic) c'est une menace pour la sécurité de qui au juste? Et puis comme chacun sait le Mexique est un pays ouvertement antisémite où les ...

... shirt and I could have bought pottery galore but alas it won't fit in the backpack! In the evening we ventured into the bullfighting themed restaurant 'Ole, Ole!' and had a really good meal of fajitas. On Tuesday, we took it easy and practiced Spanish in the park. We decided to change our eating habits in order to get used to a big meal midday and a smaller meal at night. We had comida corrida at a small restaurant in town. It usually includes a soup, main course ...

... center of Mexico City. Unfornately the damn Spaniards took the stones from nearly all these structures to construct their guady cathedral. Poor Aztecs! It's so sad. There was once a thriving city center here, but now it's just a bunch of rubble. We were able however to notice some carvings in the stone for things like serpents and birds. Did you know that Mexico City is sinking!! No joke. Of course the Aztecs knew their town would sink if they didn't drain the swamps...however, the ...

... awesome house we stayed in. Not only were there four complete kitchens and bathrooms, but there was a nice big yard, plenty of deck space, and it was located within walking distance of grocery stores, shops, artisans markets, and liquor stores. Perfect. After the family left, Raedie and I stayed a couple of days by ourselves. We took a second trip to the hot springs, this time without the family to completely unwind. One night we even went out to a bar ...
