Carri Visit: Day 5

Carri's final day in Mexico City...sniff sniff tear!

She and Autumn made the most of it with a power-packed day that started off at the Torre Latinoamericana...our Empire State Building of sorts:

Ok, its really only the second tallest building in the city!

Smoggy fun!

BFF's 4ever!!

After touring the Torre, Autumn and Carri stopped by the office to grab some tacos with me. I think the only reason I was invited was that Autumn didn't want to speak Spanish to the street vendor guy, but Carri assured me that she had been wheeling and dealing in Spanish all week. They apparently even got some Spanish-speaking only deals at the Ciudadela on Monday...I was so proud!!
Cheese!
Maybe that was the inspiration for the outfits of those ladies behind us!


MMMMM!!! Autumn went with the standard street tacos al pastor.
I get mine "con todo" with onions and cilantro...it's risky, but worth it!

After lunch, the ladies headed over to the Anthropology Museum, which is incredible and really gives you a better understanding of the stuff that you see around Mexico.
I'll be leading the next tour group...book your reservation now!


Tree of Life sculpture

Apparently the downfall of the Olmecs was that they let their power go to their heads...PUN!

Hidden jungle temple...take a right past the gift shop and if you get to the cafeteria, you've gone too far!

Apparently they took all the good paintings and stuff from the big pyramids and put it here in the museum...

And one last plug for Carri's photos posted to Facebook.
There really are so many that if you click them fast enough it's like watching a video of her trip!

Thanks for the great visit Carri! We love you! Come back any time!!!!
