October 15th (dia quince) - Another day in Mexico.... with Alfonso
So much for leaving Mexico city today, but again we were up and about early, and what better way of killing a hangover than Seafood!
Alfonso took us to this incredible seafood restaurant for lunch (around 4pm of course) that was the best I have ever had. Starting with some shrimp tacos, followed by lobster tacos and some energy drinks, I sat down to dine on my first King Crab (which is reputed to be the most dangerous job in the world, to catch them.) And which would have easily cost a hundred dollars at least at home, only cost forty.
Alfonso once again proved his knowledge of Mexico City by giving us his tour, around the beautiful colonial sections, and then off to the centro to hang out with the mariachis! A wandering vendor showed us a great way to wake up without coffee or energy drinks. We each took each others hands and at the end of each chain we held an iron rod, then very slowly the vendor turned the dial as electricity coursed through our bodies... I can't imagine how much voltage... however if we hadn't just used the bathroom, I would definitely have soiled myself!
Back to the Red Zone for a few beers and a promise from Alfonso that we'd only stay until one at the most.... But who could resist a crazy club, packed full of gorgeous latin women, with some heart throbbing music, and I couldn't resist getting into the beat as we downed a bottle of vodka, met up with some of his friends and some promised hotdogs from the street vendor outside afterwards....
Promises from Alfonso's friends claimed Oaxaca was a mere five hours away, so we took it easy and didn't get out until the early hour of four... again leaving a party that wasn't even close to finished.
I love Mexico!!!
