I'm in Mexico!!

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED

Q: What did the fish say when it swam into a wall?

A: Dam! 

Buenos dias, friends! I arrived in Mexico City yesterday evening around 5pm. Made my flight this time, whoop whoop!! After customs, I went to the bus station and took the Pullman an hour and a half South to Cuernavaca. I didn't take any pictures of Mexico City, but upon flying in, it looks something like the photo below. Driving through looks something like the one to the right. Gracias, GoogleImages! 

Despite it being one of the most highly polluted and populated cities, Mexico City has its own beauty; it was all at once humbling and exciting to be in what feels like another world. I had to give myself a thumbs-up for finding the bus station and reaching my destination in one piece. The first picture I took is actually of me thumbs-upping myself, haha. I can be proud! Once out of the city, the scenery was stunning! There are mountains all around, jutting up from the winding highway roads. Everything is lush and green, almost rain forest-esqeue.

After reaching Cuernavaca, my soon-to-be-roommate, Carlie and her boyfriend, Danio picked me up from the station. I am so grateful, everyone has been so helpful, friendly, and welcoming! It was getting dark by this point, so my picture-taking ended with the mountain views. We had fried quesadillas for dinner at a little side street. Delish! You get two for about the equivalent of $1USD. Can't beat it. Also, we drank Agua de Jamaica - a drink made from dried hibiscus flowers, water, and sugar. It has this intense maroon color - good stuff.
