Jadon and I made it into Mexico City just in time for it to rain and get cold. All in all the vast majority of people here have been very forthcoming and friendly. Granted, I've only been here a day now, but it's a sharp contrast from the filth and crime that lots of people attribute to this place. The architecture is very old, and the streets are well worn. This place is way older than anything you'd find in the states. The only place I could compare it to would be Europe as far as the feel and architecture, but that doesn't give it justice.

Last night Jadon and I wandered the streets a little, took in a few drinks, and made a couple of friends at the hostel we're staying at. We found a little restaurant down the street, I wonder whether the soup I had was made with beef stock, but it was at the very least quite tasty. At this point, my novice Spanish isn't quite to the level of asking that kind of question. I'd give it a week or so. So hopefully I won't be getting a shitty (pardon the pun) visit from Montezuma.

Today I think we're going to explore the old ruins outside the city with an old Australian guy named Mick (I think). Now, I need to buy batteries and get some more coffee.

captivating right? well, our adventure has barely started. We've got about 4-5 more weeks to go before I plan on returning to the states.
