Boarding the overnight bus

Hey,

We are an hour away from boarding time on our bus out of Mexico. We are taking a killer 14 hour bus ride overnight from Mexico City to the border town of Matamoras, Mexico. From there we have to cross the bridge on foot and hopefully sail back into the states problem free. We are planning on picking up our car and actually driving straight away north! I guess this all depends how strong the coffee is how far we will make it on the first leg. We do plan to be home in 3 or 4 days. I gotta get back to work!!

Mexico City was a whirlwind of activity. If anyone can do it "all" in the limited time we had, we certainly did! We got to the Frida Khalo blue house (hey she has the same address as us 247 BUT Londres st, not Weldon.) We got to check out the Trotsky house too. You know that this Russian revolutionary socialist was in exile here in Mexio, being hunted by Stalin and finally killed with an ice pick through his head! Fun stuff.
We got to see some amazing Diego Rivera murals and the Ruins in the city of Templo Mayor. By the end we were running thru so as not to miss anything! Time seemed so spread out until the end and the departing door just came crashing closed!

Yesterday we spent the whole day at the Temple of the sun and moon, the Teohticluan ruins! WOW! That may have been one of the highlights on the trip, despite the hawking vendors and groups and groups of school kids. We also explored the famous anthropology museum and that was amazing!

Hopefully we can get some photos up of the last week or so of the trip. It has been really some spectacular sights.

I big whopping thanks and love to you all who followed the blog, wrote positive, supportive emails and even offered money!!! Thanks so much! Especially to our incredible housemates who have kept down the fort, watered plants, kept our paper trail and our dog!! Special thanks to Rainbow Ranch folks for keeping Sample as long as they did! We are looking forward to seeing everyone and cooking a dinner (Mexican anyone?) for you all!

see you soon,
get the heating pad ready....
hugs
