Mexican Culture

Last week we bit the bullet and asked a couple from the church out for dinner! In our first week at church we were introduced to them and their names are Benjamin and Gretal, and they have a gorgeous little girl! For the first weeks chat we could've crawled under a big rock as our Spanish was so bad that they hardly understood a word we were saying, and we stood in silence a lot of the time. But they were so lovely that we said to them we would practice our Spanish and then take them out for dinner!

So last week after church we took them out for a meal and they said they would show us some of Mexico City. Excellent! The Lord was really in that day as we were with them for over 6 hours and although it was tricky to explain somethings (Benjamin asked me to explain the history of Northern Ireland - Where would I start!) and much confusion, we had a fantastic time. We went for tacos, then for some ice cream, then they took us to Polanco(?) to a huge park, and we saw lots of cool Mexican dances, and then we went to go to the zoo but it was closed!

We then decided to go to the Mexican anthropoligical museum (I spelt that 4 times, I hope it's right!) which was really informative about Mexican culture.

We are having them to our next week and will put pictures of them on our blog as we said we would, to show people back home of our new friends!

Here are some pictures of the dancers we seen, and us in the museum!
