Going Back to Mexico City

We had scored fantastic airline tickets ($350 each) a few months ago and Wednesday May 15 was the day we left via Vancouver on Westjet. Pretty cool to watch the hockey game as we flew over the Rockies.

We had a couple of hours wait at YVR before our red eye to Mexico City on AeroMexico.

After landing at 0630 we cleared immigration and picked up Caro's suitcase before finding an airport restaurant for breakfast. (Thursday May 16th)

With breakfast over we caught a taxi to Fernando and Edu's house.

Mexico City traffic was better than normal because there have been many forest fires in the surrounding mountains and because of the extremely harmful smoke most of the schools have been closed. I snapped this photo as we crossed over Tlalpan freeway.

Upon arriving at Fernando's place we were warmly greeted by the two of them. This sense of happiness was dampened later when Caro realized she had dropped her cell phone inside the taxi and there was no chance of getting it back. BUMMER! I spent the next hour (with Lisa's help back home) getting Virgin (our carrier) to block Caro's telephone number and then as an added precaution we cancelled her BMO mastercard as the cell had a BMO app on it and there could potentially be a future problem if someone was able to break into the phone.

The afternoon was spent at the dental office with Caro getting sized up for a crown and me getting an idea what my two issues will cost (a crown and a porcelain inlay).

Tete and Ruben came over in late afternoon. Ruben retired from work two months ago (at 75 years old) and is enjoying the free life (Caro and I know the feeling!)

After a quick trip out for a coffee,tea etc we came back to the house and shortly afterwards I crashed!
