¡Hola, Desde México!



We've had a terrific day and a half in Mexico City! Certainly one of the highlights of Wednesday was a late afternoon stroll in the city center, which featured the fascinating ruins of ancient Tenochtitlan as well as the impressive Baroque cathedral that lies atop. Today we spent the morning climbing the pyramids of Teotihuacán and learning more than we thought possible about ancient astronomy. The highlight of the afternoon was a leisurely boat trip through the Xochimilco gardens, where we had the opportunity to put our bartering skills to good use. The weather has been sensational--sunny and warm; your children have been incredibly patient, interested, excited, and expressive in Spanish (many compliments from the folks we've met). We'll send more news and pictures soon.
