Teotihuacan

So yesterday, Rosio and I woke up before 5am so we could get on a bus to Teotihuacan with the rest of our classmates. Teotihuacan is about 4 1/2 hours from Guanajuato, but our program director was so happy to put on a movie for us (New Moon on the way, and Avatar on the way back to Guanajuato).


My classmates and I making a pyramid on top of the Pyramid of the Moon, with the Pyramid of the Sun in the background.

We spent about three hours in Teotihuacan...Three hours that were primarily spent on climbing up the two main pyramids, the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon. Luckily, the weather was not too bad (I had checked the night before, and the forcast said it was supposed to rain). Instead we had a very nice breeze and a few clouds to cool us off!

These pyramids are absolutely amazing. The steps are tall and tiny, and particularly intimidating to climb up or down. While our group did not have enough time to go to the park's museum, we were all amazed at the magnificent Aztec architecture.

Today, some of us went to el Centro to watch the FIFA World Cup (Yes, I did wear red to support Spain). With all of the excitement of the past week, I am happy to publish this post and go to sleep! Adios!
