hey!!! this is my second attempt at blogging today....tried to inform ou all of my news earlier but it didn{t load up!! ok so here goes again and this time a little less sober!!! today i{ve been on the downtown tour around mexico city, its free with the hostel so i thought might as well. got to visit historical sights and even see the hospital!! random i know, but from the muriels in there i saw that in getting married the mexicans tie cloths together so thats where the expression tie the knot comes from i guess!! also our tour leader told us lord of the rings is stolen from an old mexican story!! believe what u wish too!!! after the tour, i had some quesadillas from a stall in the park alamado!! there are so many street sellers and the streets look so much wider when they{ve all packed away at night!!! so after the tour i went for a little shop around the area near to me and yet again was approached by mexicans asking for a photo...ok so i{m english and look it!! the funniest was a guy who took about 5 photos each time encroaching nearer to me til eventually he was just taking a photo of my eye!! i guess blue eyes are pretty rare here. i also went to a mexican art market, i could spend so much if it wasn{t for the fact that i have to have money for the rest of my travels and have to carry everything i buy. heading back to hostel bumped into some aussies and kiwis who had been on the walking tour earlier and they encouraged us into the oldest bar in mexico and there we indulged in a cocktail called bulls...which has rum, vodka, beer, and other random ingredients!! back to the hostel for dinner at half seven and now i{m drinking tequila and sprite!!!
yesterday, i spent the day moving from my hotel to the hostel!! the taxi ride was an experience, the roads have no lanes as long as drivers are concerned and beggars beg belief...they jus stand naked in the road! its one way to catch attention i suppose!!! then at night i hookedup with a few other travellers and went to see some mexican wrestling!! fake and staged do not quite capture it but for entertainment sake it was fun and essentially stunt gymnastics with body slapping!!! the crowd make it thiough, the atmosphere was buzzing with the banter between supporters! almost like that that you witness at a derby football match!!! ooo and the wrestlers they look like topless power rangers..they wear masks and have spankly trousers and or pants!!! all good fun!!
tomorro i plan to go to a market that occurs on floating boats with the oz and kiwis i met in the bar earlier!! for tonight ...adios!!! thank you to everyone that gets in touch, it makes me happy!!
oh and my dreams are becoming vivd, everyone is in them in some bizarre place, guess i{m missing you guys, but having fun too!! x x x lots of love x x x
