Mateo en Mehico: I'm not modest enough for the Mormons in Mexico

So yesterday I decided to make a trip to see the Mexico City temple. It is located on the other side of the city so I decided to use the subway for the first time on my own and tried to find my way. After getting a little lost trying to switch trains I was able to get to the exit closest to the temple. From the subway it was about a 30 minute walk to the temple. It was a searing hot day. I have a sunburn on my neck to prove it. As I walked around the corner I saw Moroni poking through the trees. Since it was a Saturday there were a lot of people there and a few tour buses bringing in members from long distances. When I found the entrance I started walking in and got about 15 feet when the guard yelled at me and told me I could not enter because I was not modest enough. Keep in mind I was wearing a t-shirt and cargo shorts. He said shorts were not allowed and I would have to stay outside the gate. I was appalled. My shorts covered my knees which some of the girls dresses did not do. I am guessing they don't get many visitors or something because a policy like that would never fly in Utah. Growing up we lived only a few blocks away from the St. George temple and I can remember many a nights and days walking around the temple in shorts. Imagine if they would only let people in shorts stay outside the fence at the temples in Utah. Well I was bit mad since it took me two hours to get there just to get turned away so I took a few quick pics and started headed back home.
