These two forms are my immigration and customs declarations. The immigration line was very long. I think I waited almost an hour. When I got to customs, I pressed a buttom that randomly decides who to search. Fortunately, I got a green light so I was able to move straight to the bus terminal.
I stopped to pick up more pesos at one of the airport cambios and then I walked to the bus terminal to purchase my ticket for Cuernavaca.
This is when my travel plans got a little bit interrupted. The bus ride from DF to Cuernavaca should take about 90 minutes. Today, because of traffic, it was a 3 1/2 hour ride. Now, I was riding in style with sporadic wifi, A/C, a movie and on-board bathrooms. However, it was a longgggggg ride.
Finally, I arrived at the Cuernavaca bus station where I promptly retrieved my bags and got into what I thought might be an illegal tax. It turns out that it was actually a licensed taxi, but I didn't know that at the time. My driver was polite and friendly. We arrived at my host family's house at around 5:45 (CST).
So, for those keeping track, my time from door to door today was 13 hours and 45 minutes and included a car, a train, a bus, 2 planes, a taxi and lots of walking.
