Luc's pal Matt from MCLA decided to visit for the week of New Year's and we wer tickled pink. We saved him a giant headache by meeting him at the airport and picking him up. After getting lost in awful traffic, we went to Villa Maria so Matt could experience authentic Mexican food. The day after he arrived we decided to rent a car and take him to Teotihuacan to see the pyramids. Urvi's cousins were in town as well and joined us on our trip. It was my idea to leave ridiculously early, as I've been telling everyone my theory....Mexicans don't like to wake up early. So the earlier you go somewhere...the better. And it was a good idea that day b/c we didn't hit any traffic on our way up to the pyramids. Also, the place was a ghost town which worked to our advantage. We decided to hire a private tour guide and he turned out to be pretty great despite a freaky, deformed thumbnail. (I guess you had to be there.) The boys climbed the 'rids while I took pics. I was still getting over a sinus thing. I chatted w/the tour guide and he was telling me that they're setting up a big LCD light display on the pyramids. Once they're done, there will be a night "show" where the pyramids light up. After the 'rids we headed to a local restaurant for an early lunch. On our way back to the city there was tons of traffic. Have we ever mentioned how much people love to use their horns here? Well they do. And it doesn't sound pretty.

Sounds like he was OK as a tour guide but wouldn't make for a good hitch hiking buddy? ;)
