La Basilica

HOT HOT HEAT is not just the name of a band. It is the definition of Mexico during the summer. Despite the weather, however, today was fun just as the rest have been! (No bad luck on Friday the 13th.) We went to the basilica of La Virgen de Guadalupe, which was built in 1695 and is currently sunken 7 feet into the ground, causing the floor inside to be at a very obvious incline. The inside, on the other hand, is absolutely gorgeous and adorned with gold and various pieces of artwork. The group had a fun time taking pictures around the area, especially Travis who got a hold of my camera and took a stream of goofy pictures... of me. It was funny to say the least. I can't believe how well I feel I know the other kids in the group considering I've only known them for one week! It really is amazing how quickly you can get to know someone when you spend all day every day with them for a short amount of time. There are still a few people I don't know quite as well as I'd like to yet, but I'm definitely building some great friendships here. There are only so many people that like Spanish as much as I do! But I'm definitely still missing my peeps back home...
