The never-ending city

Buenos días!

Two Weekends ago we went to Mexico City. We visited some of our other AFS friends. It was great to finally see them again. At first we, of course, took a photo at the CDMX ( = Ciudad de México) sign like good tourists.

Afterwards we made our way to a small market in San Ángel. It was really cute. But we weren't there for a long time because all of us were starving. The bus ride from Pachuca to Mexico City only took one and a half hours, but when we arrived in Mexico City we had to take the Metro and the MetroBus to get to the place where we wanted to meet the others. That took about two hours. Since the City is so big and there are some many People the Metro was crowded and it was super hot in there. Well, a new experience for all of us.

Some of us decided to go to a "Churreria", where we ate burgers and afterwards of course Churros. One of my favorite things in Mexico. The owner thought that we had never tried Churros before because we look like foreigners. Well... we are, but we know Churros.

So he gave us some Churros to "try" them.

When we left the restaurant he also gave me a bag full of Churros for free, so my other friends could try them, too. Such a nice guy :)

The Churros are soooo big and delicious *-*

Here are our churros. These were the ones he gave to use to "try them" :D

We also did some sightseeing. We went on the "Torre de Lationamericana". From the top I could see the whole City. It looked like a never-ending city. Anywhere I looked were more and more houses. The only free space was the landing strip for the airplanes. It was overwhelming and beautiful at the same time.

I couldn't imagine to live in a city that big for my whole life, but it was awesome for a weekend.

We also had some fun in Mexico City. Saturday night the other Germans showed us around a little bit more.

Sunday we all went to the "Oktoberfest". It was nice. There was German music and German food. And of course German beer, but it was also very expensive.

It was a nice experience.

Prost, Salud and Cheers!

At the end of the trip we were all exhausted. I took us like three hours to get from one part of Mexico City to the other. And sooo many people!

I will keep you up to date. Thanks for readin guys! :)

Hasta próxima vez!
