Mexico City

Today, I leave Mexico City. I got up and dragged myself out of bed for breakfast. At least I slept better than the past couple nights but I still feel awful. The breakfast was good though, I think I’ve had them all now. I went back to my bunk and slept some more until it…

Today, I slept a bit better but I feel worse than I did yesterday. Absolutely awful. I suffered through breakfast again, the yummy bean-stuffed tortillas with a fruit bowl. I then went to lay in my bunk and slept from 10am until 4pm. When I woke up, I was sure I had a fever so…

Today, I’m sick sick. Gross feeling, gross sounding, just gross in general honestly. I had one of the worst sleeps of my entire life last night, congestion and cough and runny nose keeping me awake, it was awful. I dragged myself upstairs for breakfast nonetheless because there was no way in hell I was gonna…

Today, I woke up sick. Surprise surprise. I can’t ignore it anymore, my throat is sore, I feel achy and tired, my nose is running nonstop, I’m sick. UGH. I messaged in the hostel group chat a couple days ago to see if anyone wanted to go on my little day trip with me, but…

I wanted to go on a day trip to Tepotzotlán north of the city today, but Claudia texted me last night asking if I could change rooms to a female dorm for the rest of my stay because they had to shift some stuff around. I said sure so I got up early to pack…

Helllooooo stomach problems AGAIN. Not a joy I tell you. But at least I have this beautiful inspirational poster to look at while I sit in the single bathroom on my entire hostel floor and wait for it to end. Went up for breakfast at 9:30 but before that I also had some green juice…

Today was another slow day because I still had to get laundry done after yesterday but at least my stomach was still okay. I got up and went for breakfast at 9:30 as usual. Today was chilaquiles! The fruit bowl was lacking yogurt and the honey syrup was unnecessary but whatever the fruit is good….

Today was exactly what I needed it to be – very slow-paced and restful. I woke up (well-rested for once) and headed up to the terrace for breakfast at 9:30. This morning, we had a bowl of fruit and some sort of sweet syrup (maybe honey, maybe simple syrup) with some granola, and then a…

OKAY hello I’m sorry I haven’t been keeping up but I’ve now been sick for a week so we’re in recovery. BACK ON TRACK let’s go. So today we woke up for Maman’s last day (boooo) and went upstairs for breakfast at 9:30 as usual. We got a little omelette with the fruit and yogurt…

This morning, we woke up and showered before heading up to the terrace for breakfast. We had these adorable little skull pancakes today which were delicious, just not my favourite for breakfast because of the sweetness / lack of protein. Niina left today, she came to say goodbye at breakfast but I’m going to see her…

Today was PACKED! We started the day bright and early at 4am and quickly got ready to run downstairs and be picked up at 4:20. A shuttle came to get us and we met two American guys (Chris from Florida and Jeremy from Denver) while we were waiting on the sidewalk. Niina was also coming…

We woke up around 6am this morning for no particular reason, and immediately got up to have showers. Maman had a hot shower and I had a warm one, which I appreciated because Niina was telling us that she still hasn’t had a warm shower yet. We relaxed in the room until 9:30 when it…

This morning we woke up at 5:45 on purpose, we had an exciting day ahead of us! I took a shower (warm) and then Maman took a shower (barely warm). We’ve discovered that there’s only a tiny bit of hot water and unless we get up before 6:30, odds are we won’t get any. We…

This morning, I woke up at 5:30 and could NOT fall back asleep. This was partially due to heat and partially due to the rush hour noise directly outside our window. I got up around 6 and headed to the shower room. The shower was quite an adventure I must say. There was warm water…

Hello from Mexico City! I decided to start this little blog because I have way too many people to update and way not enough time to update you all individually. Tante Diane gave me the idea so merciiii! Hope you have fun reading along! Maman and I left for the airport around 4:20 this morning…
