Mexico in the U-17 World cup
And I finally managed to watch my National team to olay in the U-17 World Cup. If was in the Quarter Finals against France.
It was a good game and I am happy I could made it!!
It was definitely worth it to leave early from work and hit the road =)
FIFA U-17 world cup Mexico 2011
For the first time I got to see a FIFA waold cup live. It is of course the U-17 but... it is a world cup!!!
My weekends have been crazy since my hometown has been selected as one of the host cities. So I could not miss cthe change of going to watch the games!! Crazy, I've been on the road three times for the past two weeks. And I am forcasting some a couple more to go. The next one Mexico will be playing the Round of 16. So it will be awesome... Downside, it is a Thursday so I will dissapear from work a few hours earlier
A visit to the home of the Swedish ambassador in Mexico
As part of the celebration of National day, the embassador organized a party at her home.
They only invite Swedes living in Mexico and some other ambassadors. But this year I got to go with a Swedish friend...
Perfect time to dress up as a European again!!!
running
One of my friends is preparing to run the Chicago Marathon. I can't go because I have no money or free days left. But I am running with him during the weekends.
Today I ran 16 km in 1 h 37 min.... I think that's the longest I've ever run... wow!! I am EXHAUSTED!!

Museo Soumaya. The sculptures
The museum holds the largest collection of sculptures by Auguste Rodin outside of France, and the world's largest private collection of his art.
Crazy!!!
And has at least 20 sculpturess by Dalí!
Museo Soumaya, finally a European museum in Mexico
I love museums with great works of art but I can't believe that we didn't have anything like that in Mexico
The worst part is that it is private. All the artworks belong to the richest man in the world (who happens to be Mexican). So he decided t o build a museum to show his private collection.
The museum contains the world's largest collection of pre-Hispanic and colonial era coins. You can also see works from Rodin, Salvador Dalí, Picasso, Renoir, Miró, van Gogh, Matisse, Monet, Manet, Murillo, El Greco, Tintoretto, Tiziano, Lippi, and so many others... Still... crazy that it is private!!!!
I loved it!!!
Can you tell this is a van Gogh?? and there are 3 of them!!
And a Chagall? I haven't seen one since 2000!!
Party Mexican style!!!
All I have to say is... got to love Mexican weddings ;)
Going to Washington
What a good thing to have the family all together again =)
It is a beautiful city....
But with so many drastic changes in the weather ....
What I liked most about Singapore was.....
This building... the Marina bay hotel
WOW!!!!
Singapore with Emi!
Indonesia
Crazy to fly 42 hours to be there only for 3 days!!
And crazy that I had fried rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But I loved it!!! So sad I could not travel around =S
Going to Asia!!
And why did I go there?? Well, I was sent from work to teach a couple of classes in Indonesia
It took me 41 hours to get there. Mexico - Los Angeles - Tokio - Singapore - Jakarta - Semarang. Somehow it didn't feel that long...
Thank you Singapore Airlines for providing me with Japanese food and for giving me the change to use chopsticks on a plane ;)
