I want to keep this post short, because the pictures speak for themselves. Two big things stick out from last week, I visited the cathedral and I went to a Native American dance. The cathedral is one of the largest in Mexico and it boasts one of the largest organs in the world (kinda cool I guess). And the dance, while it was artsy and not quite my style, it was interesting to see the culture in the dance. The dance was actually a mockery of the Spanish colonization. As you can see from the picture and the video, the faces were white and they walked hunched over.
On a personal note, things are going pretty well. I now have about 10 people I can call friends/acquaintances. The first week was tough without having you guys around, but I´m starting to settle in. I miss you guys and feel free to send me an email or leave a comment!

Did they let you jam on the organ? That would have been pretty sweet. So have you picked up any new phrases? One of my favorite things about being in Ecuador or Costa Rica was learning all of the local slang. I can't wait to hear you talking like a Mexican gangster. You should do one of these video postings in Spanish.
