Layover in Mexico City

On December 30, 2010, Aaron and I got to take the trip of a lifetime down to Osorno, Chile to visit Aaron's parents. It's about time that I post some of the pictures from our incredible trip. If you would like to see them all, just check out my photos on Facebook.

On our way down to Chile, we had a very long layover in Mexico City. So, we rented a locker for our stuff and headed to city central for dinner and a little sight seeing. We decided to take the Subway, and it was an experience. We were the only white people on the subway both trips. We had several people help us along the way so that we didn't miss our stops or connections. We are so grateful that we both speak Spanish; it makes traveling in Latin America so much easier.

The city was decorated with lights for the holidays.

We decided to run the last mile back to the airport instead of waiting for a bus. The traffic was intense. They drive so crazy in Latin America.

We rushed back to the airport to find out that our flight had been delayed another 6 hours. The airport had a great little museum. We spent some time looking at the art, we had a snack with our vouchers from the airlines, and we attempted to sleep on the airport floor while we waited for our 2 a.m. flight. It was a long day!
