La Ciudad de México: DF Parte 1

What a neat city. I am staying at La Casa de Los Amigos, a very cool hostel set up by the Quakers. If anyone is planning on a trip to DF, which you should, I would certainly suggest La Casa de Los Amigos: http://www.casadelosamigos.org/

I took the long walk to visit the Basilica of Guadalupe. It is quite place...

La iglesia pude tener 40,000 gentes.

An anti-abortion exhibit. It was inside of the church.

DF y la Basilica

Futbol is kind of a big deal here. And when Mexico plays in the World Cup vs. France the city comes to a hault and everyone watches and cheers and, fortunatley for Mexicos sake, celebrates. I was lucky enough to watch the game at the Zocolo, the main plaza in DF.

¡Que bueño!

I made my way to the Museum of Anthropology today. I knew that USA was in the middle of their game with Slovania so I booked it to the museum caf the moment I got there and caught the last 15 min of the game with the caf staff. They were stoked to have an American there. One fella had lived in America before and was swearing his head off when USA tied it up. He was much more excited, still swearing, but excited when the refs took away USAs winning goal...

I then got to spend time in one of the coolest museums I have ever been in. Ive never been a big museum person but this was something else...

I found out some information about a local homeless shelter that serves many of the homeless men of DF. I swung by there and got a tour. Ill be staying two nights there serving meals, talking with the guests and just oberserving and learning. I am quite excited.

These bike share stations are all over the city. Awesome.

Haha, I dont know

A neat statue in the Zocolo plaza

Gracias todos y hasta luego...
