Chilling Out in Mexico

Had a chill out day today. Yesterday was a very big day for everyone especially all the travel. Quite a bit of walking - to train - to Basilica - to Bus - to Matts. One thing I forgot to mention was that Matt was pick pocketed! Probably because we stood out a mile and Matt put this wallet in this normal pocket instead on his lower Velcro pocket!!! This happened to him last time he had friends here and was showing them around! Luckily this time he only had his student ID card and some cash. Last time he lost his credit card and Drivers License!


Matt and I went out this afternoon and went to have a look at some jewellery shops. Not really what I was looking for. It was all very fine gold and silver! Went and had a look at the Cathedral also. Totally amazing, you really have to see it to believe it! Didn’t take my camera but Matt’s going to take Phil, T & G to the Pyramids tomorrow and they have to go that way so Phil’s going to take some photos. Just the sheer size is amazing. The intricate work must have taken years to build. They certainly make the churches in New Zealand look pathetic. One thing you really notice is how much of a lean it is on. It’s sinking!

A couple of other things that were so different to NZ. Phil & I took B & M to bookshop. There was a cash machine inside and it was being emptied and there were two security guards there both holding SHOTGUNS! Totally out of it! Also went into 7 Eleven to buy plasters for Billy’s blisters - they sell them individually! Also you can buy cigarettes individually!
Sorry no photos today!!
