David y Daniel

Hey parents
This is double D comin at ya (David and Daniel)
So over this weekend we went to Patzcuaro, Santa Clara, and Tzintzuntzan. In santa clara there was lots of copper because it’s a copper town. A lot of people bought their gifts for you guys and for our friends and all. These gifts are off the heezy fo sheezy ma neezy. In Tzintzuntzan there were lots of pyramid ruins which were cool but the coolest thing was the view. We could see like a lake and lots of cities and stuff. It was also very interesting for me, David to walk into the bathroom and see a guy on a toilet staring at me. Kind of a scarring thing. But it showed me the kinds of bathrooms my brother had told me about while traveling in South America. In Patzcuaro Thomas, Marshall, Galnadgee and us all went into a restaurant and watched the world cup game with France and Brazil. Thomas called the score 1-0 and David Marshall and Thomas wanted france to win. Haha Daniel. Thomas Assata Deandre and us all went to the Omen. Assata was hella scared but the movie was kinda bad. Deandre and us are in a video group about the elections and we filmed a lot yesterday because it was election day. So far Obrador is losing and both of us want him to win. Oh well. We also found the BEST coffee shop ever and Daniel got a hella good pina colada and we both got hella good donuts and it was tight.
This trip has been hella fun but there have definitely been hard times. We both are sorta excited to go back to Berkeley but at the same time we want to stay here. So now Daniel is writing. Peace and love from Mexico. See ya. Later. Bye. Adios. Now Im done writing…right now.
