Radisson Paraiso Mexico City

... here. The conquistadors were not that bright it seems, as they built the ´modern' day Mexico city on a lake. Now I´'m no engineer but even I could have told them that would cause problems down the line. Loads of the buildings are on a massive lean as they sink slowly into the spongy soil. I went up a tower to get a better view of the city, but there wasn´t much to see thanks to all the smog. In the evening it was time to try some Mexican cooking. Once I had explained that I don´t eat ...

... vestiti in modo macabro tipo Halloween, i bambini ci provano con "dolcetto o scherzetto", ci sono venditori di cibarie in ogni dove.<br>Ho visto una mostra interessante sulla storia dell'inquisizione, allestita all'interno del vero palazzo che fu dell'inquisizione, attuale facoltà di medicina-radiodiagnostica. Anche se in spagnolo ho compreso quasi tutta la narrazione dell'audioguida; la chiesa ce l'ha sempre avuta la mania del controllo e dell'annichilimento del pensiero ...

... br><br>After an amazing lunch, we traveled to the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacán, a nearby districk of Mexico City. The Pyramid of the Sun is the 3rd largest pyramid in the world. It is claimed to have been built by the Aztec Indians but, as our amazing tour guide, Armando, explained, this is false because the structure and details of this pyramid do not match with other Aztec structures. Thus many speculate that the Aztecs were trying to claim the ...

... forward to that. We spent the morning in the big park at the end of the main road near to our hostel, sitting on the bench and watching the squirrels playing! Then we went in a proper beetle taxi, which was wicked! We had lunch in a lovely cafe in the city centre, while we waited for a guy to download our photos for us. We then took another beetle taxi back to the hostel to get my things ready to leave. Ed had bought me some chocolates and a pack of tissues for my journey ...

Our trip to and through Dulles was painless and uneventful. Starbucks, Subway, and other various shops were the targets of our students. (alright - who am I kidding - the chaperones too) Our flight departed on time and was also equally uneventful, which is always good in air travel, although very warm. Getting through immigration and customs took awhile and was somewhat comical with lost or misplaced papers. Mindy and I now have all the passports, so as long ...

... I waited with the bags - she returned soon saying that the accommodation was basic but okay - me understanding that as "yea, its not bad" but then we would be comparing it with the Grand Myan - everything was going to be basic. We checked in paid our money and carried our bags through the sand dunes to our hut which had a stone floor, a rickety chair in the corner that looked like it might crumple if we sat on it. There was a concrete slab with a well used mattress ...

... but the dark brown salsa was the nicest...I'm not sure what it was made of, but it was good! We then walked around the neighbourhood a bit and found a WALMART where we bought a few supplies, like fruit, water etc. and headed back to our room. We were pretty tired after our difficult night on the aeroplane and so crashed pretty early. I felt like a different person when I woke up the next morning and was ready to check out Cancun's beaches!
