I actually arrived in Mexico last Thursday night, but I haven´t had much chance to get online until now. My arrival at the airport was fairly easy. Having been to Mexico before, the change to spanish- was not nearly as difficult as the first time. The hostel I stayed at was really nice. It was situated downtown at the main square of the city. Everyone there was really nice, and I felt very comfortable there.

This was the view from the terrace of the hostel.

Walking around the city, I could already tell that I was in a different country. Other than the fact that everyone was speaking spanish, the city had a very different feel than any US city that I have been to. We don´t have giant cathedrals in the US like the one in the above picture. Additionally, while walking around the city I found a lucha libre randomly going on in the park. They had set up a stage, and there was a big crowd gathered around to watch.

This is so Mexican — I love it!

The lucha libre really sealed the deal; At this point I knew that I was for sure in Mexico.
