What do I need to know about Cuernavaca, Morelos?

My best friend and I are going down to Mexico this summer for a month. We are staying with her aunt and uncle in Cuernavaca. I was wondering what I needed to bring, where are good places to go, things to do, etc, for two sixteen year olds in Mexico. We can speak a little Spanish, but we are not fluent.

Not quite up in the nose bleed section but Cuernavaca is know a s the city of eternal spring. (La cuidad de la primavera eternal)
It will get a little chilly at this time of year as the elevation is 3000 ft as I recall. It climbs to 3000 meters (El Cumbre) between there and Mexico city and then drops into DF.
There is a pyramid there although I did`nt make it , they say it`s a must see.
What a fabulous place…….the only thing I missed was the Ocean. I stayed at the Casino de la Selva. I believe it was Lazaro Cardenas that banned Casinos some 80 years ago but that place still stands and is very colonial.
I will never forget the ride down the winding hwy and the lights that give Cuernavaca away. What a sight at night!
