BIMBO

Today we went to Grupo Bimbo, one of the largest bread manufacturers in the world (if not the largest). While the majority of the group slept on the bus ride there, I was buzzed from a 13 peso coffee (or excitement?) and wide awake. The tour through the factory was kind of like what someone described as being in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. Machines everywhere (IE paradise), waving at all of the workers, but most of all... the smell. Imagine the smell of Krispie Kreme when the "HOT" sign is on ... x 293847. Despite being tired, we all suddenly became very happy. At the end we got "goodie bags" of Bimbo products and took an unintentionally goofy picture. Nice hairnet, Drew.

This isn't the greatest picture... but kinda funny. Lots of eyes closed.

Afterward we went to Bellas Artes for the THIRD time, which was FINALLY a success. The building itself is rather impressive, but there is surprisingly not a ton of art inside like you'd expect. However, still pretty bello if you ask me.

Since most restaurants are closed on Sundays, we decided to stop at none other than McDonald's for lunch. A lot of us tend to get a twinging pang of guilt as a result of eating McDonald's in a foreign country, but we gave in anyway. Five of us stayed there for 2 hours talking about nothing in particular... calling some attention to our gringo-ness every once in a while with outbursts of laughter. :)

When I finally got back to my apartment, I again conceded to my American ways by watching The Bachelorette online. That show is 100% my guilty pleasure...

No pictures for now. :( I've uploaded some on facebook though from the past few days if you're interested. Hasta pronto!
