Hey there. Well I've had 2 pretty full on days finding my way around the city. and I'm still on very jumbled sleeping patterns so feels like iv been here longer. Today i moved to a new hostel which is a lot closer to the city and to museums and other tourist points. Its far better facilitated and way more social. Half the price of other place and includes free breakfast, dinner, internet and city tour. + have met far more people to get ideas about what to do\where to go etc.

Today spent a bit of time at a couple of the many places u can see the work of the great mexican muralists- Rivera, Siqueiros and Orozco among others. Pretty cool, especially Diego Riveras - awsome style and super confident painter, altough apparently a bit of an egomaniac.

A guide there was taking a group in spanish and after gave me a personal tour in english. He was finishing his shift soon after, so we got a coffee and i got pretty thorough tour of the art and architecture in the surrounding streets. Quite interesting but a bit bamboozling after a late nite and long day.

Got first mozi bite tonite, arrrgh.

Tomorrow, going on my free city tour, and organizing bus to the coast for sunday.

Adios, Alex.
