I was eating a quesadilla yesterday, and I put some salsa on it. This salsa is made from Habanero peppers, supposedly the hottest chili peppers in the world.
When I closed the lid, some of the salsa (in slow motion) flew off of the top and went near my eye. It stung for a while!
The moral of the story: be careful when closing the top to the salsa.
Today was a good day, but a very long one. I just got home from my second trip of the day to downtown Mexico City. I’ll write a full update later about all the great things I got to do today, but for now, I’m going to bed. I’m really tired. Good night.
Since we were going to the World Trade Center yesterday, we parked the car at the anthropology museum and took a taxi to the Expo. It’s just easier, since we always get lost going home from the World Trade Center, plus it costs less to park in that parking lot.
The museum parking lot is across the street from Chapultepec park, where the Mexico City zoo is located. Since Nathan was such a good boy at the Expo, we took him to McDonald’s at the zoo and walked around a little bit (admission is free), even though we have planned to go there on Saturday with some friends.
The animals were all very active during our trip to the zoo, and the polar bear was putting on a show for us. Here’s the video of it.
Yesterday we went down to the World Trade Center for the Christian Expo, where bookstores from all over Latin America (especially Mexico) come to exhibit their stuff.
We went so we could look for textbooks for my classes, and we found some really good stuff that is going to help a lot in the future for the youth ministry classes at the seminary.
Here’s a picture of the World Trade Center (in the background) with a restaurant in the foreground.
