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!

We were surprised by how much we loved Mexico City for the food, sites and people. Can’t wait to go back for more!
I can’t believe they have Uber! So, sorry about your phone and pictures…I just came back from vacation to find our memory card had crashed. It’s so heart-breaking.
I have never been to Mexico City, but I hope to make it there soon. I’ll have to look up details from your trip to Moscow! 🙂

Oh so sorry to hear about your photos! And nice reading that Mexico has allowed Uber to be there. Good info.;) Better luck next time…
I understand your pain as far as the cell phone goes. I seriously thought my iPhone had crashed this weekend while we were away on a little getaway. And miraculously it started working again. (Yay!) And I had no idea that it was so cheap to stay and travel around Mexico! Can you believe that I haven’t been there yet?? I need to get on that already. 😉

Throughout this grand design of things you secure an A+ just for effort and hard work. Where you actually misplaced me was first on all the particulars.

For right now I will, no doubt subscribe to your position however trust in the foreseeable future you actually link your dots better.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
