Today Josh and I went on what he was calling a field trip. We had a breakfast of pancakes (our list of items to bring from the states is growing and includes baking soda... what we have been using just doesn't cut it), and then mapped out a route to bike to Zapopan- a nearby colonia that is quite the opposite of Cerro de Cuatro. We headed to the contemporary art museum called Museo de Arte de Zapopan and viewed a really wonderful and extensive exhibit by the artist Daniel Lezama. Afterwards we caught the end of a wedding in the nearby cathedral (neat sketch of the cathedral here- Josh will surely have photos from the wedding on his blog).
Yesterday morning was also an adventure of sorts as we went to the U.S. Consulate and met with the "Consul General de los Estados Unidos" and the "Consul de Prensa y Cultura." They will serve as a great resource for us in the coming months.
We went through four different doors for security and checked our bags at the entrance... it made me feel somewhat important to be allowed through! And inside we were greeted by portraits of George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Condeleza Rice.
