We visited Teotihuacan today. This involved tackling the Mexico City Metro during rush hour - interesting as you only get about 10 seconds to get on or off the train. We then caught our first bus to Teotihuacan - an ancient ruined city from 100 AD. The first challenge was to scale the Temple of the Sun - 248 large steps in the roasting sun.
As you can see we all managed and the view was spectacular. We are all standing on the spot where they carried out human sacrifices to the Sun.
We then climbed the Temple of the Moon and then explored to rest of the site before returning to the city for dinner.
After dinner it started raining...and we all got very very very wet getting back to the hostel. When it rains here it really rains!
Tomorrow we are off to Cuetzalan for the first of our treks. We're going to miss the Mexico match tomorrow (which is on at 8.30 am) but we're all hoping Mexico will get to the Quarter finals or better because it would amazing to watch the football here!!!
There will probably not be an update now for a few days.
Hasta luego!

Aah, Teotihuacan! I did always like lots of the Aztec names; lake Texcoco, Tlaxcala, Quezacotl and all that!
I hope you're all having an amazing time. Keep posting!
