Catch Up

03.08.2006

Okay, so we’ve been bad at posting, but we’re ready to make a comeback and fill in the blanks over the past few days.

We left Mexico City on Monday afternoon by bus headed to Querétaro. Getting out of the city was a mess, as political protestors supporting the PRD stopped all traffic on the cities most important avenue, Reforma. This also happens to be where our hotel was located.

Anyhow, we made it to Querétaro by Monday evening to stay with Jorge's family. That night, we hit the town, only to find ourselves locked out of his house at 3 am. The houses in Mexico are gated, so there was no easy way in without waking up his entire family. Luckily, we drunkenly believed we could transfer our rock climbing skills onto the gate. See picture below. It didn't work. We woke up his mom after all. (note to self, Jorge´s parents house is a fortress).

Over the last few days, we've been touring around Querétaro and the countryside. We'll talk about that in our next blog.

Since we finally have internet access that can download pictures, check out pics below.

3. The view of Mexico City from Chapultepec Castle

Adios.
