Anti-violence march

So many things, so few days...

Orientation was super busy, much of it was fun and interesting, but the best part was getting to meet the other Fulbrighters/ networking, and our nights out! We've scaled the pyramids at Teotihuacán, we had a dinner with a Mexican Fulbrighter (probably going to Chicago soon!), a reception at the Deputy Chief of Missions' house, and some live music in a pub-- and I looove live music! ;)

Yesterday, the other 3 English teachers and I got to our hostel, to be home for the next few days, and went to the Lucha Libre last night-- it was NUTS. Choreographed, yes, but so fun to watch people get sooo excited about it!

Today we went to the Bosque (woods) de Chapultepec, to the Zoo, and we were going to go to the Museum of Modern Art but it started to pour, so we were stuck under a sculpture for a while before being able to continue on to the Anti-violence march... you may have read about it in the BBC-- basically there have been a HUGE number of kidnappings and violent crimes in the past few years, and for this march (they expected about 500.000 people) we all wore white in solidarity with the victims and families of the violence.

I think we've been invited to some live music for the evening, so i will sign off-- besos!
