On oublie tout, sous le soleil de Mexico....

Heelloo!!

We are now in Merrico (you pronounce it Merrico here and not Mexico!!), discovering all

about this crazy country...
We arrived first in Mexico City where my friend Jean Marc and Michelle welcomed us in their flat in the city. We stayed there for about three days, getting back our lost sleep! and wandering around town and the historical buildings.

We visited the Chapultepec Park, which is quite a nice place, calm and green, in the middle of the town and we had fun following around the squirls!!

We also went to the Palacio Nacional, where you can admire murals from Diego Rivera which tell about the history of the country, from the Mayas to the Spanish inquisition, from the Mexican revolution to what he could see from the future.

To see more murals from Diego Rivera, we also visited a convent where the walls are full of it! Very busy this Diego!!

Coming back from the historic town we went to the Bellas Artes building which is absolutely beautiful but which is slowly sinking as it was built a very long time ago on a lake...

At night we went to a great restaurant to try some of the specialities of the country, with a traditional mexican band playing music and some enormous cocktails to drink... it was absolutely lovely!

For the week end, we decided to go with Jean Marc and Michelle to Acapulco to try a bit the beaches of the country!!
We arrived quite late in Pie de la Cuesta (close to Acapulco) where we enjoyed the pool of the hotel at night!!

The next day we went on the beach to discover how powerful the waters of the pacific ocean are!! It is absolutely incredible to see how the currents are strongs and the waves powerful... but we were very careful and had very much fun! We then enjoyed hammocks on the beach for quite a while....

For lunch, Jean Marc and Michelle took us to a great restaurant where we ate an excellent fish grilled with spices, a real treat!
And while we waited for the food, Ola did some wake board... Life is cool!!

At night, we got all dressed up and enjoyed the night life of Acapulco in a pretty big night club, where all the drinks are free once you pay the entrance!! So we really enjoyed the bar and the dance floor!!

The next day, we had time to bath a last time and went back to Mexico... Ola and me went to take our next bus for Oaxaca...

That's all for our first steps in the country of the sombrero and the eternal sunshine!

Lots of kisses,

Agnes and Ola
