We have arrived! Toriann and I arrived in Mexico city on Saturday evening after an amazingly smooth and comfortable trip down! The city is unbelievable-huge(100 million, I think), crazy and really indescribable. We wish that we would have come down a few days earlier to explore the city! But, we made the most of our day, and traveled to Teotihuacan. Teotihuacan are ruins just outside of the city, primarily two large pyramids-one built for the sun and the other for the moon. They dont know who exactly built them, when, or why they were left. Our
GAP group went there on a tour, but Toriann and I decided to venture out and find our own way on public transportation. We took the metro and bus, and with Torianns spanish, had no problemo. It was amazing to see the ruins, feel the history of them, and made us excited to see so much more of central america and all that it has to offer. After a long day of exploring the ruins, we joined our group for a nice dinner at the top of a tall building which overlooked the enormity of Mexico City! It was pretty amazing, and fun to get to know our group. Our group consists of people from England, Germany, Austria, Australia, and Italy. Everyone seems very nice 
and layed back so far. There are 6 of us girls that are going all the way to Panama. Today we took the bus to a city called Puebla. Puebla is full of colonial architecture, and is beautiful! We walked around the city, went to an outdoor market, a cathedral, and had coffee in the plaza. Tomorrow we head to Oaxaca! This part of our trip will definitly be go, go, go! We are so excited to be beginning this journey, and have already seen and experienced so much! We think of you often and love hearing how things are going at home!!
