You don’t know what a flight delay is until you{ve travelled by plane in Mexico. We left Puerto Vallarta on day 10, and the flight was meant to be at 1pm. We left at 3:30pm. I know – not very long… but it’s kind of like the wait at a doctors surgery.. you have to get there at the right time… even though you know you won’t be seen for another 2 hours!!
Anyway, we made it back to Mexico DF and spent the evening with Dari’s family at her apartment. It was great to meet her family – Ailin spent quite a lot of time over at their place and I heard quite a few stories about my georgous new fiancé.. quite revealing 
Day 11 we spent with another of Ailin’s friends, Vianey. She and Ailin go back to year 7… oldschool! We went to a great little village 1 hour drive out of Mexico DF – Tepozotlan. There we… you guessed it.. ate drank and swaped stories. Ailin is really enjoying seeing all her friends again – the last time she saw Vianey was about 6 years ago. Anyway, after lunch we walked (needed to after the Enchiladas de Mole), and we walked and we walked. When we were done, we found that we had hiked 2.5km up to an ancient Aztec temple, above the town. And when I say hiked, I mean literally. 3000 steps up up UP (I counted).
The view from the top was SPECTACULAR – just check out the photos.
On photos, we had a little heat accident with one of the CDs, so for the time beeing we don’t have any more photos from days 7-9.. I know thousands of people were waiting with anticipation for them… but sadly, unless someone can tell us how to recover a CD with a third of its face peeled off… it will just have to stay that way 
Anyway, back to it. our legs are still a little sore from the climb, but today we ventured out into Mexico DF again… this time to hit the cinema for some traditinoal Mexican filmography… Casino Royale!!! Great movie.. go see it
Tonight we are meeting Viridiana, the last of Ailin’s long lost friends. More stories to hear, more things to learn!! My spanish is coming along. I’m understanding more than I can speak, but most peoples english is better than my spanish, so I can understand the conversation, adding bits in english, and all’s good.
