Deidre in Mexico

I moved to a place in the very centre of Mexico City to take a tour to the Pyramids of Teotihuacan and the few days there met lots of travellers. Half the people on the trip to the pyramids were Australians. Some of the girls told me one Aussie girl got arrested by Mexican police for drinking alcohol in the streets.
A few brief points to cut the ramble:

• Pyramids of Teotihuacan must be one of the most beautiful places in the entire world, stunning
• On our tour bus of 11 people, 6 were Australians, some from south america and a Sicilian fetish performer from Berlin. When we were giggling about his business card and asked him what he did he said he whipped women with his hair (a few extensions down to his knees) and they liked it. Anyway we took lots of pics of him at the Pyramid
• Spending the day with Tomoko in the centre of the city at the Palace of Fine Arts, the National Palace (of the government), eating nopales salad, seeing the excavation of the ancient city at Templo Mayor, talking together until way after dark 
• Mexico had a cyclists critical mass day and the Paseo de la Reform was filled with all manner of bikes, including roller bladers, skaters, skateboards and kids in little cars. 
• The Museum of Anthropology is absolutely amazing, there is a fountain in the centre surrounded on 3 sides by vast 2 story halls, each with a theme for a different period of group in Mexico. The architect also designed the Cathedral of the Virgin of Guadalupe that we visited before the pyramids.
