What’s going on everybody! it’s been a couple years since I’ve last blogged anything but I’m happy to be back. For the next couple posts, they will be dedicated to my recent trip to Mexico City. I hope you enjoy.
This is my first time in Mexico City. I wasn’t sure what to expect since I’ve only been to some parts of Mexico 🇲🇽 like Cozumel, Tulum & Tijuana for a short period of time.
On the first day, I waited at the airport for Andy and Steve to arrive. All of us arrived pretty late so we decided to just go to the hotel and get some rest.
The next morning, it was Mexican Independence Day! Luckily, our hotel is only a block away from Paseo de la Reforma, which is the main street where the parade is. It was incredible! You can hear them shouting, playing drums, and marching before you see the actual parade. I didn’t expect to see a heavy army presence. For miles and miles different military groups were passing by; Special forces, snipers, and black ops. It felt like I was in a Call of Duty loading screen. After spending some time at the parade, we met up with Chris and Drea. They’re both from the bay area which was a pleasant surprise. After chopping it up with them for a little while, a couple more locals met up with us. It ended up feeling like a mini Instagram meet. We headed up the street to snapped pictures and enjoyed the parade. Soon after, it started to rain so we grab some tacos. After our stomachs were full, we waited for the rain to stop then we headed to Edi Studio. We chilled and checked out the view for a little bit before heading back to the hotel.
