After walking 2 miles back to where we got off the bus, we realized the bus picks you up just outside of the sun temple. So we walked 2 miles back to gate 2 to board the bus back to Mexico City. It's abt an hour bus ride and some people stood up the whole time because seats were full. It's eye opening to see the level if poverty here that doesn't exist anywhere in America. We told the boys that the majority of the world is like this. I hope they realize how blessed we are to be born in America. Even the poorest in America do not compare to other poor areas of the world.
We had lunch/dinner at the oldest restaurant in Mexico City. Hosteria st Domingo. Then we walked for a few hours through the most crowded streets is ever seen in my life! Even Nate held my hand!
Again it was eye opening. Police with Uzis, street vendors selling without permits that would pick their "shop" up in 1 second when they heard the whistle that police were coming.
The children enjoyed playing all day with some whistles made by a street vendor. Luke and merritts make the sound of a jaguar and silas'sounded like a bird.
We decided We were ready to head on to San Miguel!
We are not on a super nice bus (with wifi)!
Adios Mexico City!!
