Today, Amber and I, along with our friends Adam, Beth, and Kandice set foot in Mexico City for the first time. For the most part, everything went well and good, the exception being that Orbitz changed our tickets so that Amber and I ended up taking a flight to Mexico from Houston two hours later than the rest of the group. So, we sat around and ate airport food while our friends flew, and well, then they did the same thing while we flew. But if that is the worst thing that happens to us during the trip we ought to be pretty thankful!!
We are staying at a Quaker hostel that is quite interesting to say the least. The building used to be the home of a famous mural artist, and needless to say, it has seen its better days. But it is close to the city center and we are looking forward to all that we are going to see in the next couple days.
Tonight, we walked around a bit to get our bearings and just a couple blocks from our hostel there was a Christmas fair 
that was, no doubt, influenced by the many fair games that one can find at Six Flags or state fairs in America but with Mexican food instead of elephant ears and fried bananas instead of fried mozzarella sticks.

After walking, we made our way to a Mexican restaurant that we could trust called VIPS (right next to a KFC and Burger King!), which crazily enough is chain in Mexico that is owned by Walmart... yeah, not your typical authentic Mexican... but it WAS good!
Needless to say, we are all very tired and the majority of our group has deserted me and headed off to their rooms. Hopefully I will write more later on in the week!
