End of Guanajuato and beginnings of travels with Sarah

I'm a real mexican cowgirl!

or at least i went horseriding in the mexican desert, which looked like a backdrop to an old western movie.

Horseriding here felt abit different then back home, for one you have to wear proper cowboy boots, no riding helmet, just a hat and with different saddles, but it was fun and terrifying at the same time.  I was letting my horse get a drink from the trickling river when he started kicking his feet, then our guide starting to yell something at me in spanish...quickly translated by the other guys on the tour to mean if i dont get my horse out of the river he was gonna roll....was abit scared that i was gonna be trapped under the horse but i managed to get away.

After staying with the lovely Bre and Kent for 3 weeks, it was time to get out of my comfy guanajuato bubble and hike it back to mexico city to meet cousin Sarah. We spent 4 days in mexico city, on my prior trip i had put off doing a few things the first time i was here, so we could see them together, most important of which are the Museo national de anthropologia´and visiting Teotihuacan.

The museum of anthropology was amazingly huge and i think has re-ignited my passion for archaeology, with something like 27 exhibition halls im pretty sure we didnt get to see everything, especially because we got abit lost and started walking through on the wrong side of the museum.  We only realised at the end of going around when we saw the "introduction to anthropology" sign. Sigh!  After the museum we skipped across to chapultepec park and went to the zoo there where we got to see pandas. Unfortunately this zoo was abit rough around some edges, we went to see the safari side of the zoo and most of the animals exhibits looked like they weren´t there, and after looking closer at the exhibits there was only a little gap between us and the animals.  We spent the rest of the time there looking over our shoulders thinking that maybe the lion had escaped!.
