I´m having a hard time wrapping my mind around what to say about the incredible spectacle that is Mexico City.

From Lucha Libre to the Ballet Folklorico, from braving the subway to taking canal boats through Xochimilco, from climbing 294 steps to the top of the pyramid of the sun (second largest pyramid in the world) at Teotihuacan, to trying pulque (a very old fashioned drink made of fermented Agave plant and a symbol of peasant Mexico), from eating a fancy dinner overlooking a fresco in a swimming pool that had been installed by Diego Rivera to eating amazing street tacos of Al Pastor with pineapple, to randomly running into friends from San Francisco on a street corner in downtown Mexico City to being lost in a city of 18 million, to the zoo and the national anthropology museum, to learning about the Aztecs and the many different ways you can and should offer the gods human sacrifices... Mexico City defies neat little packaged blog entries. Lets just say that we both really liked Mexico City. A lot.
