Wow! First day in Mexico City was UH-MAY-ZING. It's not technically over yet... but wanted to update. The weather was incredible (like 72 and cool breeze) And the parts of the city we've walked around today were gorgina. Strolled to a neighborhood called Condesa for brunch at a cute little organic cafe. We stumbled upon this cool kitschy vintage store that had a lime green XMas tree... luv it.
Then we walk through out Bosque de Chipultapec which is Mexico City's Golden Gate Park. There was a palace that we walked through, a big lake with tons-o-peeps paddle boating around and we watch these guys hang upside down from a giant pole, and spin while descending to the ground. We're sure it was some sort of old, Aztecy rain-voodoo thing... but we didn't find out. Check out the video clip.
After our stroll throughout the park, Wilma wanted to see Mexico City's version of Rodeo Drive... so off we walked there. Nice shops - all the ones you'd expect like Gucci, Diesel... but the prices were the same as in the US, so the credit cards didn't come out.
We got our correct rooms so now we've got a big suite with a connecting room. So we've got a nice sized living room to hang out in together. Andrew just landed and will be here at the hotel in about 1 hour. He already texted us that he "NEEDS A DRINK". So we're off to drinks and dinner tonight at a place called the Hip Kitchen. And then it's off to a few gay bars. But I'm still not 100% so we'll see if I make it that late.
Oh - tomorrow we're taking a trek out to the pyramids. Should be awesome.
