Chaputepec Forest. My best impression of Moctezuma.

Viva la Bandera!

Los Niños Heroes.

Story goes, 6 boys were defending the Castle of Chapultepec and when the Unites States came to take over (because they take over everything) they all died in battle although Santa Anna told them to leave. They were the only ones that stayed to defend the castle before the US made it one of their headquarters. . .

I had a rough week. I missed my sisters and the rest of my family a lot. Jacob and I are both moving on and it's great but I missed my best friend. Looking over this lake and some of Mexico City brought me back to reality instead of thinking about home. How lucky I am to have this opportunity and to remember that I have the strength to move forward and not live in what is going on miles and miles away from me, that I could not ever fix even if I was right down the street from.

Aztec dancing in the forest!

This is one of the original trees that have been in the Forest of Chapultepec, I forget the name of them. Some of them had probably been there since Cortes came, maybe not that long, but they were OLD!

I love flowers. . . that's all.

In the Castle of Chapultepec, this room houses the original constitution of La Republica de Mexico.

Looking over some of Mexico City, Lago de Chapultepec [Lake of Chapultepec]
