Mexico wrap-up

Back to Mexico City, and time for a visit to the world renowned Anthropological Museum. So we wandered round, absorbing as much as we could, and admiring the numerous large carved stones, pottery, and big olmec heads. Not to mention watching some dudes dangle upside down in a recreation of an ancient ritual.

MEXICO SUMMARY
Food: Chapulines (grasshoppers) and Mole (pronounced Molay, and its a chocolate chilli sauce) are highlights
Ruins: We saw heaps, our favourites are Calakmul and Uxmal, and we couldn't stand Tulum which was overloaded with tourists.
Places: Hard to go past our time and experiences in Oaxaca with the street kids centre, spanish classes, and the ongoing civil unrest. Another favourite was San Cristobal, nice colonial town, good handicrafts and nearby local mayan villages.
