Subject: Post: Early in the morning we arrived Mexico, left our bags at the hotel and headed to Teotihuacan. One Finnish guy named Matti I know happened to be in Mexico at the same time, so he also joined us there.I visited Teotihuacan last time with Timo around midday and it was horribly crowded and hot at that time. Now we reached the site around eight in the morning, an hour before the official opening time but the gates were already open. This was definitely better time to visit: The site was basically empty with pleasant, even a bit chilly temperature. Hot air balloons were flying over the pyramids and it was calm and peaceful. Way better experience. Around 10 the tourist buses started arriving and the site was getting crowded again, but we were already leaving.We returned to the city by a public bus, had lunch in a small seafood taco place and planned to spend the afternoon in the National Museum of Anthropology. Matti had already got enough walking for a day and left to hotel to sleep his jetlag, which maybe wasn't that bad idea at all.We anyway choose to walk through the big Bosque de Chapultepec park to the museum and noticed we are dead tired before even entering the museum. Three hours and 10000 clay pots later we resemble zombies and returned to the hotel. Too tired for any photo editing today, so will post them later on. Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
