Mayan temple at Tenochtitlán

---

We stay in Condessa in a reasonably priced hotel. Our room has a bedroom and dining area that is seperated by an orange and blue wall that has several holes cut into it. I go out and get a take out pizza and crep with chips. I buy coke to mix with some cheap rum that we have bought and a few beers. We lie in bed watching movies and chill.

The next day we rise late and take a taxi to my favourite hostel 'Hostel la Mapina' in Central Historical where you can get a bag of laundry for fifty five pesos. From there we go to the Central North Bus Station which is busseling with familys visiting for xmas. We eventually find the bus to Tenochtitlán, the ruins just out side Mexico City. The sun temple is the third largest pryamid in the world the first two being in Egypt. We climb it's steep steps and laugh at the mock hippys praying to the sun at the top. The whole site looks like it's been restored with concreate and crazy paving. It is not a patch on the other temples that we have seen.

Traffic is murder on the way back to the city. The taxi que is about a hundred people deep at the bus depot. We duck around the corner and grab a taxi that has just dropped off. After picking up our laundry we grab a pizza and cocktails in Condessa and crash out. The next day we fly to Miami via double US security.
