Kicking off in Mexico City!

Hola!
Last night the team met up and did our gear check and introduced ourselves before heading off to a delicious Oaxacan style welcome dinner.
This morning we started at the Museum of Anthropology, one of the best museums in Mexico City, and learned about the history of the area and the original people groups. We then left the city and drove to Tlaxcala, another historic city and heard more about the Tlaxcalans and Aztec peoples. A traditional lunch and we headed to the base of Malinche to our lodging for the next two nights, some cabanas at an old Olympic training facility. Limited service so don’t worry if you stop hearing from your loved one until Tuesday! Ill update here on the cybercast when I can!
Thanks for following along,
Ari and team
