Biblioteca Vasconcelos

Today we went to La Biblioteca Vasconcelos, the coolest library I have EVER seen. I'm sure you're thinking a library can only be so cool, but this one really is the cream of the crop. Each of the floors can be seen from the first level, and they all seem to be suspended from the ceiling. A picture is really the only way to describe it. In my opinion, this is what Georgia Tech's library SHOULD look like. If I could study here, I would study a lot more often...



Roxanne and Travis on the library's balcony. What a view!

REWIND: Before going to the library, we went to an LBAT-renowned empanada place. I'd heard so many good things about this restaurant from the people in my group last year, but I did not understand how big of a treat I was in for. This blog is starting to revolve around food so much that I might as well create a second one devoted entirely to the food aspect of my travels... 
Hawaiian (ham, cheese, pineapple) and blackberry w/ cream cheese. DELISH!
After empanadas and the library, I went to a park to have a Bible study with Ben and Ben. We've changed locations every time we've met, which makes for a nice change of scenery and perspective. We hung out there for a while and then went to Ben Johnson's house to avoid the rain that was heading our way. His host mom offered us dinner which consisted of chincharrĂ³n and tortillas, a dish that is somewhat hard to explain. It was pretty good and I was glad to have something other than a PB&J for a change. Something MEXICAN. Once the rain stopped I walked home to Condesa with the other Ben and then proceeded to do what I do every night: get on my computer. Sometimes my life is so predictable...
