Mexico!

Day 1:

After a very long night of traveling from Salt Lake to Atlanta we finally arrived in Mexico City.
Here we are at the airport more than excited to finally be there.

We took our luggage to our tour bus that would be taking us all around Mexico.

We took our seats and we were off!

Our first stop was the Basilica


We saw the famous cloak of Juan Diego's with the image of Guadalupe

We got sprinkled with some holy water.

Saw the original Basilica (which is sinking because Mexico City was built on water)

Climbed up a ton of stairs to two different chapels where people were worshipping and praying.

Went to Tlatelolc, or Plaza of three cultures (ancient, modern, and contemparary buildings)


Then we finally headed to our hostel to relax and enjoy the city.

And I'm Back...

Monday morning I was lying here...

...and before I knew it I was back in the states.
The chilly Rexburg weather is kinda refreashing, but I kinda miss Central America already. I have about another week and a half before I start classes again so I am sure I'll have plenty of time to blog all of my adventures, but as for now I am still trying to move in, catch up, and get back into the swing of normal life.
I'm leaving tomorow to head to Boise for memorial day weekend so I will have to resume this blog when I return.

Feliz dia de madres!

( i hope i said that right)
Right now I am in Chiapas Mexico, too far to see or even call my mom, so I wanted to wish my mother, and all the other mothers out there, a happy mothers day! Mom I just sent you a nice long email updating you on everything that is going on with me so hopefully you got that.
Tomorow is actually mothers day here in mexico but today in relief society we had a really awesome lesson on mothers. It was really touching, i loved it alot!
I promise, to anyone who is interested about what is going on with me, that as soon as i get back to the u.s. i will blog all about my trip and put up lots of pictures! I am having an amazing time and having some even more amazing experiences. Today is also the half way mark for the trip, so i only have two more weeks left.
So I promise lots of pictures in about two weeks!
