Magic

Had one of the best times of my entire life in Mexico City.  Just got back last night after 5 days of touring, partying, and living la vida Mexicano.  I might also add that I didn't sleep for almost the entire time so I'm a bit loopy.

The reaction I received from most people after they learned I was going to Mexico City was: 

Me: "I'm going to Mexico City."

Stranger: "Yes, but where are you connecting to?  Cancun?  Puerto Vallerta?"

Me: "No.  I'm going to be in Mexico City."  Pause for an awkward pause and head tilt.  Then:

Stranger: "But...why?"  And there would be confusion clouding their eyes.

Well, because it is a fantastic destionation, that's why, people!  Especially during the wicked Dios de Los Muertos celebrations.  I stayed near the Zocalo, the famous central plaza with the Metropolitan Cathedral and other offical buildings.  I experienced so many beautiful sounds, sights, and food with my friends.  A mini-reunion with mates from Sydney was organized and I didn't hold back on running amok.  Mexico is gorgeous and has such a rich culture, especially compared to where I come from.  I'm happy to have been a part of the Dios de Los Muertos celebrations!
