where in the world....

So, it´s Tuesday and I´m still in Mexico City. Yesterday, however, I went with a friend, Collette, to Tepotzlan, a really beatiful (and extremely touristy) town in the state of Morelos. We only spent about 6 hours there, durning most of which we were climbing these neverending stone "stairs" that lead to a Pyramid that`s at the top of a mountain (maybe it`s a hill, not quite a mountain. Either way it was really high up). We had no idea how long it would take, we just follwed the hordes of people that were funneling throught this really steep little canyon that the stairs follow. After almost an hour, I though that I was going to have to roll back down to the bottom. Then somebody told me that we were only half way there! But we made it in the end and it was worth it if only for the view. The pyramid was small and impressive mostly because it looks like part of the mountain. The trip down was not as taxing, of course. I think I burned off a few tacos worth of calories at least...Tacos is pretty much all I eat right now, so the excercise was a good thing!

So, I was going to leave this morning, but my friend Omar convinced me it was better to stay another day and leave at night for Oaxaca so that I`ll get there at like 8 in the morning. So, I leave tonight...
