After Moscow, I wanted to get back home to New York City to celebrate my 21st birthday with my family before taking my next flight to Mexico. I was able to stay, but unfortunately, they sang me my birthday song right before leaving the house with my backpack and passport in my hand. I never got a chance to taste the cake, but who cares? I got an amazing six weeks’ journey in front of me.
But because of the flight’s crazy changes and delays, I had to arrive in Mexico City before my travel buddy. So, I just went out there to discover Mexico city all alone. (Yassss! totally out of my comfort zone)
I ordered an Uber (Yes, I know I didn’t think Mexico had Uber services, but they did) and booked a fair priced hotel while using the Starbuck’s wifi in the airport. To be honest, I wasn’t going to wait for five more hours extra till the next flight arrives!
I was able to book a fair priced hotel room for one night near the airport for 50 bucks a night. (I was desperate for some sleep and a hot shower after missing my second flight from Dallas to Mexico City and leaving on the next available one; the following day)
Did I mention that my 30 minutes ride cost me 4 dollars! the peso is exceptionally cheap to the dollar, the exchange rate was 15 pesos to 1 dollar!
But as long as I got some strong Mexican coffee, everything was cold, and I was singing, “don’t worry, be happy” the whole time. LOL (Do you see that beautiful cup! OMG I need one. Wish I bought one!)
The hotel had a cafe where organic Mexican and international cuisine are prepared right in front of you. (I truly felt like I was home for a second there, it was just like my mother preparing me a meal when I was little, the weird thing is that the cook looked exactly like my mother! Weird. I just kept staring at her, surprised at how similar they looked, or maybe I was only homesick from my three months of back to back traveling! who knows.)
The worst thing about traveling is that you fail to sync your photos before your phone crashes and dies 🙁 Yes, I had soo many pictures from Mexico City but lost them all, and now they’re all just memories to keep in my heart.
Sorry
Next stop, Veracruz!
