Entchen is in Mexico City.

Hi dad!
Yesterday I got out here in Mexico city for the fist time, it was amazing! the weather is very sunny and there are lots of things to do & see!

We went to the monument to mexican revolution


And  we got to go up to get some amazing views from the city!
On the entrance


Right under the elevator that took us up and has a height of 52 meters!


On the elevator almost reaching the top


When we reached the very top


One of the amazing views of the city


Another view on a level lower


Group picture!


Another on this telescope


It was absolutely amazing!
And as we walked toward the monument we passed by some places where my fellow tv's had already their pictures taken

Palacio de Bellas Artes (the palace of the beautiful arts)


Hemiciclo a Juárez  (a monument to a former important mexican president)


The fountain of abundance outside the national lottery building


The sculpture of "el caballito" (the little horse)


So far I'm liking the city a lot! can't wait to see some more places! (:

Hi dad (:
Niza apologizes for not making any updates, but this days have been a little bit crazy, anyways on wednesday last week we got to go to Mexico city's museum night!
It was pretty fun!

We started at the MUNAL (national museum of art)


With one of the paintings there


This was part of the promo for the 1986 worldcup in Mexico!


The beautiful staircase


The inside patio of the MUNAL!


There was a Picasso expo!


We also went to "El estanquillo" museum, the ceiling was beautiful!


With this cartoon figurines of former mexican presidents


Sorry about the photo quality but we were not allowed to use flash ): and also we didn't took a lot of photos because we had to get moving fast!

This week also we cooked pasta!!!
Here's us with the empty ingredients, we should take the photo when everything was still there but we forgot


Cooking the pasta


And the sauce...


Ready for the feast! Barry & Schnappi already had cloths to cover them from getting dirty so Niza made napkin bibs for me, Lou & Sansibar (:


And we did a little toast with this delicious fruit wine, don't worry I just had a little bit


Well that's all for now, hope you had a nice weekend dad! (:

Hi dad!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!


Yesterday we went to do some x-mas shopping...a bit crazy :/ but we got to see the tree at the Zócalo (Mexico city's main square) and some decorations





Also last saturday we went to Niza's cousin wedding, it was so much fun!!

The ceremony was held on a franciscan convent of the XVI century! in a little town called Tepeapulco


On the inside patio of the convent


Along the others on the fountain


The main cross


The convent also has a mini museum with pieces from the ancient cultures that lived here before the spanish conquer!

There were shrunken heads :S


Some necklaces & carved stones


With some pots & vases


Some excavations


With some stone figures


And then came the party, there were lots of dance & fun and we got to eat lots of sweets! including some bride & groom cupcakes!


I'll show you some pics of the gifts & the dinner tomorrow, have a great evening! Love you lots

Hey Dad!
We snapped some post-christmas pics, they are not a lot since this days have been mostly lazy-ness but Niza says she has a big surprise for us tomorrow! I can't wait!!!

Here we are before X-mas with the gifts, Niza got also postcards & packages, we were thinking if inside one of those there was a new tv...


And yes there was someone new! Edi der Bär he comes from Switzerland and he's a class mascot!


Also this days we learned how to play this game called "mexican train" it's so much fun!!


This family sure loves to play and there were some big money bets!


Well that's all for now, I can't wait for tomorrow!!!
Love,
Entchen

Hey dad!
Niza apologizes for not uploading this before since we did it back in 2011 :P hahaha but she's a bit bussy anyways...
So far we've known Mexico as it is today but this days we've get to know a little bit of prehispanic Mexico and it has been awesome!
To start, on wednesday last week we took a little roadtrip to the ancient city of Teotihuacan, you can read a little bit more here if you are interested

Remember Niza said she had a surprise for us? well it was the roadtrip!


We saw the pyramid of the sun


And got to go all the way to the top!!! here's a view from when we were going up


Then we went for the pyramid of the moon


And got to climb it too! here's a view to the avenue of the death and the pyramid of the sun


The mural of the puma


And in one of the sculptures to god Quetzalcóatl


Oh and you asked Niza for a picture of us together so here it is! (:


The trip was so much fun!!! more pictures to come of what we've done in this few days, also hope you had a happy new year dad! I'm excited about my adventures to come for 2012!
Love you!
Entchen

Hey dad!
Well we've been up to some stuff this days so you can see here (:

We went to the national anthropology museum


They had lots of neat stuff there!










And we saw the original aztec calendar!!!!


We spent new year's at a little town in the mountains


Here we are with Niza's new year necklace & bow


And on January 6th, the 3 kings day we ate the "rosca"


With the 3 kings figurines


And one day Niza had to go to the world trade center and she took as along, so here's the WTC building


Also Barry and Sansibar left us last week ): sure we're gonna miss them but we've got two new friends!  Gammler and  Awit also from Germany!


And that's pretty much all so far (:

Hey Dad!
Well it's time to keep on the journey, it's a bit bittersweet because I was having so much fun here and we had formed our little family but I'm on my way to philippines now and I'm so excited!
I hope the trip is not too long and I have lots of neat adventures there
Love, Entchen
