Mexico CiTY ADventure

I need to tell you about my latest adventure. We ditched going to service tocelebrate Chris's birthday. We left Tuesday night to stay in Mexico City. Weleft at about 9:30at night, it was spontaneous and actually a pretty stupid idea to be wanderingaround mexico city without a place to stay at 11:00 at night. but anyway, wegotthere and all we had was a travel guide in french that one of our roomies lentus. we rode the metro to the downtown area and started to look for a hostel.We found a sweet one that only had room left, which is like a community hotelroom. It was dirt cheap. so they put is in a room with two other people. wegot in the room and there was some stuffalready there, it looked like some girl stuff, we were a little nervous butsuper hungry, so we locked out stuff up and set out on the street to find arestaurant, it is about 11:30 at night at this point. we found a little randomtaco stand and had some tacos, and went back. the streets were pretty scary.We were pretty nervous the whole time, but it was alot of fun. we got back and met our roomies, they were these two really prettygirls from Spain. It was great to talk with Spanards again and use my accent.I was really nervous though because they were girls that we didn�t know andthat I had to use the vosotros form with them and I didn�t even use that inthe mission. We found out that they were going to be traveling around Mexicofor two weeks. I talked to them for a long time about Spain and then decidedto go to bed. They were wearing some interesting pajamas, if you could callthem that, and we all got in our bunk beds and kept talking until one in themorning. I was nervous all night because Chris and I had the top bunks andthey would squeak everytime me moved.We woke up at nine and decided to spend the next day together so we go upearly and went to these beautiful art museums and to one of the worlds biggestanthropology musuems. It was very cool. the girls were very nice and thehostel gave us free breakfast as well on the roof of this big building thatlooked out over the central palace and cathedral area that is all made ofancient french architecture. We also saw some indian dancers and these ruinsthat were buried under the city center. Also there were these indian guyswho twisted these ropes around a wheel at the top of a 90 foot tower and thenhung upside down with the ropes attached to their stomachs The wheel turnedand slowly let them down . One of the guys just had eaten lunch and you couldtell that he was feeling sick because he held his hand on his mouth to notthrow up. It was pretty funny. We went all over the city and I now know themetro system pretty well so I won�t get stuck going to Brookland again!!!Then when we left Mexico city to got home were my roommates and I planned asurprise party for Chris. It was a great adventure and fun day.
