Parque Ecológico Chapultepec

Martes- 3 de Julio.

Día 19. “Parque Ecológico Chapultepec”

                Today was pretty fun, and we had some good adventures (: Morning classes were as normal, but in the afternoon we headed to the Ecological Park in Chapultepec, about 20 minutes away. It was basically a zoo- be so much better than the zoos in Minnesota, in some places you could actually get into the cages with the animals. In the bird cages for example and we were within touching distance of the peacocks, until the birds got mad at us. There was one that was overly protective and began to peck at our shoes, quite funny. We wanted to go on paddle boats in the river as well, but it was under construction, and for some odd reason it was empty.. We came to the conclusion that is was a fake river, us Minnesotans didn’t like that too much.

                After school we had planned to go shopping at Galerías again, but it was way too nice out to be inside so we headed to El Centro with the boys for some more shopping. We found shops and stores we hadn’t seen before and it was pretty interesting to see the things they sell here, and especially how cheap! Kenzie and I finally got the shirts we had been wanting they say “Yo <3 Cuernavaca”! Tonight has been pretty relaxing and now we are just working on our homework and final projects- Tomorrow is the Fourth of July, first time I have even been away for the family party and I am sure going to miss it. We are having a small potluck at school for us Americans, and then spending the night in El Centro. Should be a great day.
