A new week





Hola muchachos, qué tal?
Can't believe I've already started my 2nd week of classes!
Sunday was great, I went to the city center with Iván and Joshe, my roomies, and Marta and Timi. First we went to the Bellas Artes museum, it was very nice, a beautiful building and we saw paintings of Diego Rivera among other mexican artists. Did not take any pics coz I had to pay for that. Then we went to the market, where we ate some fresh mango and "nieves" homemade icecream. It was very nice wandering around there and the weather was great. After, we went into the Torre LatinoAmerica, were you may go untill it's top (44floors) to appreciate the stunning view of the endless Mexican Capital. For luch we went to a restaurant named Girasoles, located on the square of "Caballito", a famous horse statue. Iván had told me about this place before so I already knew what I was gonna have: chille en nogada, it is like filled chille with a delicious kind of sweet sause. I really enjoyed the meal, very special tastes, and it's has the colors of the Mexican flag, not to forget! :p It was a very nice day, but after luch we went home because, as almost always, it started to rain...
On mondays, I only have one class, from 8.30 to 10.00, Econ Int, so after I spent some time studying in the library (yes, I have to start studying, apparently ITAM is VERY demanding!) and had a nice lunch with some friend on the uni terrace :)
Today I also had classes from 8.30, thus I woke up at 7.30, so after catching the bus and buying a coffee I'm in time. Had classes untill 13.00, time at which the salsa class starts, it was great, like always, and I really enjoy seeing that we (foreigners) are progressing! The last 15 min of the class were like non stop dancing in a circle in which like every 3 min you change partner ("cambia pareja"), it's so cool!!! :D And i just love the salsa music! After the salsa had some luch and finished the day with the most boring class ever: Spanish.
On my way home, by bus, I almost had a hart-attack: to get into the bus there were quite a few people so it took a while and thus a truck behind the bus had to wait a bit. But, apparently the truck was in a hurry and started stressing and horning. The bus started going almost before I was actually in the bus, but anyway, the truck continued horning and the bus-driver was going nuts and drove very fast. When we reached a traffic jam, both, the bus and truck had to wait. Someone got out of the truck yelling at the bus driver and I really thought this mad guy was gonna get into the bus and hit the driver and eventually do something to me, as I was sitting behind him! Luckily, it ended up to be only yelling and I safely got home. Iván told me this "traffic stress" is quite common, so I guess I'll have to get use to it!
Anyway, I'm going to sleep, am verrrrrry tired and tomorrow gotta be at uni at 8.30 again.
Take care!
Besito
