La Ciudad de México y El Rollo.

Hoe-la (hola with an american accent.).

This past weekend we went to México City and a super fun water park called El Rollo.

The bus ride gets shorter every time we go to Mexico City so that’s good.  The first thing that we did when we got to Mexcio was go to el palacio gobernal.  The president of Mexico used to live there but I don’t think that’s where they’re housed anymore.  There were bunches of Diego Rivera murals all over the building.  Our tour guide Enrique told us all about them.  What we were able to pay attention to was pretty interesting.

Then we went to another church.  We don’t know what it was called but yet again it was very ornate. We didn’t stay there for very long because everyone was hungry and we had one more place to go .  The last place we went was called Chipultepec park.  We’re thinking about going back there when we stay in Mexico City by ourselves at the end of the trip because there’s a zoo there that we didn’t get to look at.  In the park is an Anthropology museum. We both got two big scoops of ice cream with cherries on top from the museums restraurant (after we ate lunch of course). Inside we looked at all sorts of pictures of ruins that we’ve been to or are going to and we looked at where people came from and stuff like that. 

Then on Sunday a group of about ten of us woke up earlier than we should have and walked to the bus station and went to El Rollo which is supposed to be the biggest water park in Latin America. It was lots of fun and just like almost any other waterpark but they’re always fun.  We spent 6 hours there and only Aaron’s shoulders got burnt.

Other than that it’s been pretty uneventful.  Tonight we’re going to go watch a fountian that has colorful water and music.  And this morning there was a big huge moth in Elizabeth’s room that woke her up and scared her really badly and her 77 year old ‘Mamá’ killed it with a broom and told her that it was a black butterfly and it was okay that it died because it was dressed for death.

Hasta Luego.
