On the way to Tere's wedding (see post below) some B2B friends and I were able to do a little sight-seeing around Mexico City and Pachuca. Mexico City is one of the world's largest cities, bustling with people. We tried all kinds of new foods and saw famous landmarks. It was fun to be a tourist in Mexico for a change :) I hope you enjoy these sights of Mexico as much as I did!

| Inside the Federal Palace is a famous mural by Diego Rivera. This gives you an idea how huge it is! |

 |
| Local vendors with their goods is a little mining town called Real de Monte, famous for it's silver. Their blackberries were incredible! |
 |
| Pachuca is know for its Pastes, a empanada type food. It includes a dough shell stuffed with either sweet or salty fillings, like pineapple or chicken, then baked. Here are some ladies making pastes. |

The B2B miners!
All of us sight-seers from B2B found a place in Real de Monte where we could get our picture taken all dressed up :) What a fun group of people, from jovenes in the Hope Program, to B2B staff, and staff kids! |

| Preparing barbacoa for our tacos! This is a process of cooking sheep meat for up to 24 hours wrapped in banana leaves in underground ovens. One of Cheque's favorite dishes! |
