Evening Fam! Here is an update on our last two days.
Yesterday we had a nice visit with Tia Marie, Olga, Irma and Mario at the same restaurant we went to 2.5 yrs ago. Tia Tete also joined us. We then moved to a Sanborns to enjoy dessert and in my case a Chelada.
After our visit it was decided to be real Mexicans and take the Metro bus home as traffic is ridiculous and this is by far the most efficient way. I personally am not huge on taking it because first off it’s hot and I end up standing the whole time as seats are reserved for kids and older people. Also I don’t like speaking because then everyone knows for sure I’m a tourist (as if they didn’t figure it out by the way I dress lol). But as stated, it’s a mexican experience.
Ruben then picked us up and took us to the church where my grandparents are placed. I’m not sure if it was my abuelita’s birthday or anniversary of when she passed but mom really wanted to go say hello. So this trip we really did an almost complete family reunion.
On the way home Ruben dropped us off a few blocks away from our apartment as it was much easier for us to walk the few blocks than for him to try and fight the horrendous traffic when he had the opportunity to get on a freeway faster than trying to take us right to our door.
A little while later I went out for tacos with Sandra, Rommel and Valeria. Now Sandra is not technically my cousin but when I lived here 20 yrs ago we became very close and even closer since the last time I was here. So that’s why I consider her my cousin.
All of us then went to a bar for a drink. This place happens to be really cool and just around the corner from my place. So it was great to find another “safe” place and within walking distance.
A great day as usual.
