This is one of the best videos I’ve seen of Mexico City. I love this city. I know that God loves it, too. I am praying to find people who will also love this city and help share God’s love with the more than 25 million people who live there. Want to be part of it? Contact us.

The best place to view the volcanoes in Mexico City is from the airplane when you come in. Just above the layer of smog, you can see the tips of these two gigantic mountains covered in snow.
This is Mexico City

I went with Dr. Sills and a group of Seminary students to the Museum of Anthropology last week. Here’s some video I took of the museum.
Mexico and the Super Bowl
They played the Super Bowl today in Miami (what’s up with the new name of the stadium?), and in Mexico City, we realized that the Super Bowl is becoming more and more popular. There were lots of restaurants that had parties, and even the movie theaters were cashing in on the game by showing it on their big screens.
We went to a Super Bowl party at our church. They had an “NFL Experience” type thing where they invited people to come and do different “American football” drills, competitions, and then watched the game.
We watched the game at home after hanging out a little. We watched it on our slingbox, which allowed us to watch the game and the American commercials.
American football is growing in popularity in Mexico. The NFL has done a lot to promote the game here, and of course the fact that Mark Sanchez is the starting quarterback for the Jets helps the NFL’s cause.
A while ago the Saints cheerleaders were in a local mall promoting the game in Mexico. We took a quick little video.

Back in Mexico
The best place to view the volcanoes in Mexico City is from the airplane when you come in. Just above the layer of smog, you can see the tips of these two gigantic mountains covered in snow.
We’re back in Mexico after about 6 weeks of time in Florida and St. Louis. We had a great time reconnecting with family and friends as well as sharing at churches and representing Youth Ministry International at Urbana ’09.
Now we get to unpack in time to pack again. We’re moving. I’ll give you more details about that soon, but just wanted to write that we are happy to be back. So happy we celebrated by eating some real tacos last night.
Mexico vs Trinidad and Tobago
There’s no better cultural experience than going to a national team’s soccer game. So, when I found out that “El Tri,” the other name for the Mexican soccer team, was playing in Estadio Azteca here in Mexico City, I had to find a way to go.
I had been to one of these games before, but it was only a friendly match against the Republic of Congo. This time, it’s a World Cup Qualifier. In other words, this one really counted. Especially since Mexico is on the brink of being left out of next year’s World Cup, something that would be unheard of.
So Hube, Edgar, Paco, and I left from the Seminary at 5:30, thinking that we had plenty of time to get to the stadium. Well, we were wrong. At 8:30, we were exiting off the main road to get to the stadium. We put the radio on and heard the national anthems. We knew we were late.
Then, we heard that the game had started, and Mexico scored a goal in the first minute. We were still in line to find parking. As we pulled up closer to the stadium, we realized that the parking lot to the stadium was closed. So we had to park on the road in front of someone’s house and pay 20 pesos more than we would have paid at the stadium parking lot.
We walked to the stadium entrance, and as we were entering, they informed Huberto that he couldn’t bring in his backpack. So he left it at one of the places where they were selling t-shirts. We got into the stadium to watch the final 5 minutes of the first half.
But the in the last few minutes of the first half, Trinidad and Tobago scored a goal, which made everyone in the stadium upset.
We got to watch the second half from our nose-bleed section seats, which actually weren’t that bad. We saw the “golazo” by Mexico and went home happy with a 2-1 victory and 3 more points for Mexico in their quest to qualify for the 2010 World Cup (check the video highlights here).
Leaving where we were parked, none of the four of us who were in the car knew which way to go. We finally made it to a recognizable place, but by now, we were starving, so we had to stop to get some tacos on the way home.
Overall, it was a fun night, despite the 5 or 6 hours we spent in the car in traffic and/or lost in Mexico City. I’m glad we went, and I’m looking forward to August 12 when the United States comes to town to play against Mexico for bragging rights and points towards the World Cup.
