Mexico, Week 1

Photo one...Our church here in Atizapan. I have taken a lot of good photos of this church over the past two visits...and this one is of the rains as they moved in at the start of the evening.

Photo two...a 'Micro' bus, parked for the night. These are the main source of transportation here and by far, the hardest to get accustomed to. The drivers rattle down the streets without fear of anyone or thing in their way.

Photos Three...The bus lanes at the subway station 'Rosario' or 'The Rosary'. It can be confusing as each bus is headed to a different town. Finding yours can be difficult.

Mexico, Week 1

Moving around Mexico City can be overwhelming at times, as I am sure with any large city...you must contend with traffic, traffic and well...more traffic. Public transportation is wonderful here, with buses and 'Micros'(small buses) as well as Kombi's(small vans) and the Subway (Metro). To move from Atizapan de Zaragosa to another town is easy. To get to the city center takes a bit more work and about an hour and a half depending on the time of day.

In the first photo...Bellas Artes in the City Center
The second...Huevos Rancheros with Ham. Or, as some have put it to me...'Green eggs and ham'
The third...a vendor selling 'Elote' or...corn on the cob, roasted over coals and smothered in mayo and doused with chili powder.

Mexico, Week 1

I have been here in Mexico for over a week now. If I were counting on my fingers and toes...it would be more like 10 days, which would mean that I will be surpassing my previous record for days in Mexico on my first trip in November. I have shot some great photos, and really need to start to put it all down on paper so as not to forget the little details.

My intention is to keep up with this blog and to put the daily activities on here, but...I take a lot of photos and I would like to share them all. Since I am starting this a bit late...I won't be able to recount my trip completly thus far, but...the first photo is of the Cathedral in Central Mexico City, home to the Catholic church here in Mexico. The second, a small church outside of Ciudad Izcalli, where it is believed that the Virgin Mary came in an apparition and spoke. The third, me...on the roof of the house in Atizapan.
