Zocolo

This weekend Calv and I had the opportunity to go to the Zocolo in the center of Mexico City. It is a place where there is a Cathedral built on top of the Aztec Temple. So they have some ruins of the temple and then this huge church. There is also a some government buildings. It's interesting they have hundreds of cops standing outside of it in a straight line with shields just guarding the building. It was all really pretty to see. We went with two of the MBA's Ben and Brent. We had our first metro in Mexico experience. It was super cheap. It just cost us 30 cents each to get on. So the whole thing between the two of us cost us $1.20 for there and back. It was soooo hot though! The metro was packed. I couldn't move at all. There was this sweet couple next to me making out. I wanted to take a picture but I didn't want to get shot/robbed. There is so many people all over the city...all the time. It's so crazy. It's smells pretty bad too but we are getting used to it (it doesn't smell inside the campus where we live).

We are loving it what we do here. Calvin is still working hard on his video stuff. I spend alot of time in the kitchen making sure everything is running smoothly there. I also interview the students quite a bit about the things that they are learning here and how it is changing their attitudes about business and what they are going to do differently when they leave here. I have been very humbled here. Each one of the students come with different challenges. It has been so fun interacting with them. Calvin has found some basketball friends. Elder Oaks is coming to our stake this weekend to speak. It will be fun listening to him in such a different setting other than the "BYU fireside". We are having a great time living with Jeremi and Rebecca. We've become really good friends. At night after we are all done working we usually hang out and watch a movie or something. I have a fun time talking to Rebecca about our missions. We know alot of the same people. K well here are some of the pictures that we took this weekend!

It started raining hard when we were walking around so we were all wet

Some cool Arts building

Who knows?

Sooo many people!

This picture is just for Mike. Just so he knows that there are Circle K's even in Mexico.

Little boy dressed up like the pope. Of course.

Yes, that is a dead iguana around his neck

The cathedral that we are standing in front of is sinking. So it looks slanted when you see it

One comfortable metro ride

I know the campus looks really nice on the inside but these pictures are what we see once we step outside. We live in one of the poorest/slummiest parts of Mexico City.
