Leaving LA - Arriving Mexico

Woke today to drizzle (what timing) Disneyland in the rain wouldn’t have been much fun! I managed to pull a muscle in my calf running across the road to Subway for breakfast (definitely getting sick of American food!!) Rain didn’t amount to much - it had stopped by the time we got to the airport at 11am. Bit of a mission getting to plane. We had to go on bus out to plane and then when we arrived in Mexico same thing again. Plane arrived on time but by the time we got to the terminal another half hour had gone by and then by the time we got through customs and got bags etc it was 8.30pm. We landed at 6.55pm. Matt has starting to wonder whether we had missed our plane!!! Matt had bought a friend with him to the airport to pick us up. The drivers around here certainly take their life into their own hands - they’re all crazy!!! Gave Matt his quilt last night which he loved (of course). Hotel is great - very spacious. Up this morning and caught 2 trains and a bus to the Basilica - see it in the photos. What a cool place. The church is huge. It holds about 10,000 people and there were definitely thousands there today. Then onto another bus to Matt’s house. Met all his friends who were really nice. Had a awesome lunch - I’m sure I’ll be twice the size when I get home. They managed to persuade Matt that they should do the Haka!!! Maia and Billy not keen - Tayla and Georgia weren’t either but Phil managed to persuade them with 1,000 peso ($US10)!!!! Had a great day but very tired!!
