finally a relaxing weekend!

yay so this weekend was so relaxing, which was great for me, but not so good for my blog. Friday we watched half of a lame movie on TV then went to bed. Saturday I had to makeup a class at 9am... of course I was 10 minutes late but I think that's ok in Mexico hehe. Then we went to the mall and watched a movie called Biutiful with Javier Bardem. It is a movie from a Mexican director called Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, who also made Amores Perros, 21 grams, and Babel. It was quite intense and a bit eery but very clever. The only problem is everyone speaks in accents from Spain which was proving to be quite the challenge, even Jose said at times it was difficult to understand. I have no idea if it is in cinemas in Canada, maybe at more alternative-ish cinemas.

On Sunday we went into the mountains that surround Mexico City to a place called Ajusco. It is about an hour drive going up and about 30 minutes coming down. So close yet you feel like you are so far from a city. It actually feels quite Veracruz like, along the highways and in the smaller towns. People selling so much food and drinks, fruits and vegetables. They have ranch style restaurants, horse riding and you can walk through the woods. We ate a restaurant that served the best food, so traditional and tasty. We laid on the grass and slept in the sun, and then we went to a place that sells strawberries and cream! There are some amazing views of the city but yesterday was a particularly smoggy day unfortunately so it was hard to see but i took some okay pictures. Last night we watched Toy Story 3 which we got for free from our points that we have collected from the department store Liverpool. I love that movie and Jose laughed the whole way through too.

So it is Monday again, I hate that the weekend goes so fast but I am also very excited for this week because my mum and dad are coming to visit on Wednesday!!
