So it has been a little over a week that I have been living in Mexico. Many new beginnings!! I have a new home, school has started, a new language and new surroundings. My stay here has filled me with excitement and a new sense of comfort. The culture and the city has connected with all my senses. Whistles blowing, unidentified smells that change with each new block, and vivid colors paint the streets, cars, buildings, etc.
Last Sunday I went to the ZOO. It is free to all visitors (although there is a cost to see the reptiles?). The self guided tour began with small rodents (often referred to as road kill to some and cute little furry animals to others). The Zoo tour ended with elephants and large animals. I had a pleasant time.
On Saturday we visited the Museum of anthropology and viewed many original and replicated artifacts. This museum takes many days to see in everything. So I will definitely be back again.
Reforma is a street that is the main artery in the city. This is the street that has been camped and blocked due to protest regarding the election. We walked through the reforma and there is a picture of the action. The protest is very well organized and involves thousands of families.
I miss everyone and I am very happy here. Until next post take care!!

It sounds like the zoo is tons of fun. You have to pay to see the reptiles? Only in Mexico. So did you pay to see them? It also sounds like things are going well. I hope the language is coming along for you. Tara told us about your crazy professors. Just don't take a certain cola into class. I think I would try it just to see how serious she is. On second thought, if it's my grade I don't think I would chance it. Take care and have a great weekend!
