Viva Mexico!

My Mexico Adventures!

Don't be alarmed about the Pictures that you are about to view.... Yes, they are Pictures of Excessive Fun, of Crazy Days, and even Crazier Nights. But most importantly they are Pictures of all the Great People and Places that I experienced while "Studying" in Mexico. So Enjoy, but view at your own Risk!!

 

My first Picture of my Mexican Adventure would have to be of Mi Mama y Papa. They were the best Family anyone could've asked for! I had the best time just hanging out with them, and learning about how amazingly talented they were. I will never forget these people, and I hope to one day visit them again in MEXICO!

 

And this is a Picture of Mi Mama, with the Best Roomies anyone could've asked for! Monica and Sarah!!!

 

And this was the best Spanish Class ever, because it had Me, Ryan, and Jeff in it---AKA The Coolest People of the Cuernavaca Crew!!! Haha 

 

And this is the View I saw every day from my classroom. And all I could think was, "Why can't this classroom be outside so that I can get a Tan and Learn at the same time!! Haha"

 

And this is the Amazing Cuernavaca!

 

And this is the Roomies and I in front of Palacio de Cortes. Aren't we Cute!! (from left to right: Monica, Me, Sarah).

 

This is me with a Diego Rivera Mural of Zapata. Personally I think I am a little Cuter than Zapata! Haha

 

The Roomies and I having so much fun around the Palace!!!
 

 

Then afterwards we all roamed around Cuernavaca, Hungout and experienced Mexican Culture! (from the left to right: Neliza, Chuy, Rai, Moy, Monica, Sarah. And in front, Jose, and Karim!)
 

 

Then it was off to Mexico City!! We first visited The Basilica de Guadalupe! This is the busiest church I have ever been to in my entire Life! And also the only sinking church I have ever been to as well! Haha
 

 

Now this is a very famous and religious painting of the Guadalupe. No matter how many Flash Pictures you take of it, it never fades. And not matter how many times they have scientist test it, they can still not identify the type of paint. Cool Huh!
 

 

And this is the Amazing, the Wonderful, the Stupendous, Sarah, Moy, and Monica

 

Then it was off to Teotihuacan!!! Where some of the best Aztec Temples still exist in Mexico!

 

This is the Temple of the Sun---AKA Piramide del Sol! And Yes, I walked All the Way Up, and All the Way Down it!! Wuhahaha!!

 

This is the Roomies and I at the TOP of the Temple of the Sun

 

And this is the Next Temple that I climbed! The Temple of the Moon---AKA Piramide de la Luna!!

 

And here‘s me after I climbed the Temple of the Sun!!! I think I look a little skinny after that Climb!! Haha

 

Sarah and I before we climbed up the Temple of the Moon. I think the best part about climbing the Temples was that we were Tanning and Exercising at the same time!! Hahaha
 

 

And this is Ricardo, Heidi, and Pedro!! Who are extremely Buff after climbing up the Temples!

 

Here‘s me with the Temple of the Sun in the back round! Pretty huh!

 

And this is the Picture of Victory!!! (from left to right: Ricardo, Brooke, Pedro, Moy, Rai, and Monica!) WE DID IT!! WE CLIMBED UP BOTH TEMPLES!!! HURRAH!!! 
 

 

Then here is all of us on the Temple of the Moon, with the Temple of the sun in the back round (from left to right: Karim, Me, Sarah, Monica, Ricardo, Brooke, Heidi, Moy, Rai, and Pedro) We all had such a Amazing time! And it was such a Great Experience, and one that I will remember Forever!

 

And this is the "Money Shot! Haha" After all that Climbing, I'd say that our rear-ends were looking Mighty-Fine! Haha J-Lo, Eat your Heart Out!!

 

The Next Day it was Back to Mexico City. This is the City Center, and there was a Protest going on when we arrived!

 

This is Me in the Palacio Nacional (The National Palace). I got to see all the great works of Diego Rivera, and experience the Beautiful Palace. (In my styln' Mexican Poncho! Hehe)

 

Here's some cute American Boys that Heidi and I were chatting up in Mexico City...We met them at this Taco Stand, and Heidi and I both ate ONE Taco...Where we proceeded to get soooo Sick!! These Boys were on their SEVENTH TACO!!! Haha. I hope they're still Alive!

 

Then we went to the Museo Nacional De Antropologia, and here I am running with the Aztecs!! Haha. I figured after I had climbed their Temples, running with them would be easy! Haha


Our next out of town trip was to Tepoztlan! This was a great little town outside of Cuernavaca. This is a picture of the local Convent. Pretty huh!

 

And here's Me, Margie, and Stephanie! After our local shopping spree, we decided to go pray in the Convent... Haha (PS. Does everyone see the random dog in the Picture??? There were random dogs all over Mexico!!! Haha)

 

Then the next big Trip was the Ruta De Zapata!! Our first stop was in Cuautla, and this is where Zapata was buried.

 

Our next stop was the city of Anenecuilco! We got to visit Zapata's Birth-Place, and see this Incredible Mural!

 

Then it was to Chinameca, the place where Zapata was shot... I guess I shouldn't be looking so cheerful in then picture then huh....?? But at least, I do look Cute! Haha


And this is just a glimpse of the Beautiful Mexican Countryside!! If there is one thing that I will always remember about Mexico, it's that it is Astoundingly Beautiful!



Our next adventure was to the Stunning city of Taxco!! This was my favorite City, because it is the Sliver Capital of Mexico!! And that means....Tons of Jewelry!!! WUHAHAHA!! And this is the Roomies, Sarah and Monica, looking Mighty Excited!! Haha
