Our first week in Mexico Recap! *Day One*

Just a quick apology to all my friends and family expecting frequent updates. This last week has been a bit hectic, and with poor internet connections in multiple hotels, this is the best I can do! So here is a quick recap of the last week. We arrived in Mexico City last Saturday evening, waited 2 hours in line to go through customs, and finally arrived at the Casa de los Amigos where we were staying the next few days. After we got our bags and got settled the group went down the block and around the corner to a small restaurant for our first dinner in Mexico! It was absolutely amazing. The smog is overwhelming in Mexico City, but our trip has gone off without a hitch!

Our second day in Mexico city began with breakfast at the Casa and then our first ride on the Metro. In no time we were in Zocalo (Mexico City center) and walking around all of the street vendors. We visited the ruins of the Templo Mayor and walked through the Templo Mayor Museum.

 Walking through the streets of the Zocalo we got to watch the traditional Mexican dancers, dressed up in full regalia. The sun was blazing and the dancers were in step with every beat. The feathers were gorgeous, and the facial expressions were captivating. After walking the Zocalo, we all took the metro to the Museum of Anthropology. The photo below was a picture I snapped of the group right outside of the Anthropology Museum!
