Day 14

Woke up with pounding headache. I knew exactly why. Water...

Issela was there. I was wondering g where she was and glad to see her. We laid on the bed I was sleeping and chatted for a while and more.

Tanya s uncle made breakfast for us. He is a very exciting free spirited artist
From the moment we started chatting at the Oslo lounge I knew he was one

Very fun and playful people. More I makes me believe that Mexico is full of artisans. Live to sing and dance anywhere, really about being happy and enjoying the moment.

There are degree of difference but I still believe that people are 85% to 90% same.

I really enjoy tacos. It's simple cheap and tasty.

Issela decided to tag along with me when I asked her so we went to many different places. Mainly getting to know each other and learning Spanish for myself. But we mainly communicated in English.

I have not yet to meet a Mexican who can speak English with perfect grammar other than Liz but somehow I enjoy that more because it s simple and unnecessary.

Issela and I went everywhere for next two days including teotihuacan and coyocan. We split because she ran out of money and needed to shower sndc repack for Acapulco

Yesterday I went to San Angel myself and got myself lost in the city again. Good thing I learned to count from Issela on the way to teotihuacan because I can hear prices and directions better.

San angel was so so rich compared to what I have seen in entire Mexico so far. I hear ppl pay rent with USD. First time seeing Mercedes, BMW, and Porsche. New ones too. New Audi, E series for Mercedes, big fAncy house, it was totally different world. I felt safe though even though it was really dark and quiet neighborhood streets all by myself. Since it was Sunday there was a church service sbd I sat there for good fifteen minutes. Priest spoke English one sentence "Christmas is about sharing is caring"

When I came back to Carlos Gama s house, there were many ppl and we all went out. I was excited to go clubbing but it wasnt type of crowd who pay money for cover.

Carlos definitely made me feel comfortable because he doesn't hide and he is very flexible reminded me my days when I had ppl over at my house everyday

I made my specialty meat but it could have been better. I think I'm gonna stop using sugar it's just not in Mexican diet more spices for sure

I'm ready to leave Mexico city, time for new. Hopefully there are good food anywhere I go. Nice thing about city us abundance of food in every block.

I came back to luz house. Combination of luz and juan is my favorite. I really like them. Juan frowned when I told him that. I'm going to Acapulco and I appreciated :) because I knew exactly why

He gave me many tips on cool sites and routes to take. He typed it all kn jy phone. Only person so far on this city that I can trust with my phone and not having help because of his tech savvy brain and interest I can actually learn many tips.

I want to meet more ppl like him. Negro pata are fun but ppl like Juan really brings richness in my life.

Serious stretching and post marathon recovery continues. Never stretched this much in my life and it shall be part if my life.

Smoked weed since I left USA. Met a girl, Tatiana.

I don't think I want to have weed is going to be part of my life anymore I really enjoy having clear brain

Have not been stressed for awhile. I need it and learn to embrace without anger. But anger ya good for me so we will see. Balancing respect, humble and self confidence is tricky. Revealing my true color as well.

Acapulco will be interesting experience. I really need some good dancing night, get it out my system, :)

Good bye Ciudad de Mexico. We had our flirt, you were a great tease but you got me more curious about my next destinations.

I have feeling my travel will be more based on ppl then sightseeing.

Oh and one more, there was an earthquake And I had a great time with it, it lasted for a minute. Was so cool to see instant twits and I was the third person to post :)
