so i'm not a busy at all um but i'm at the bus station about to go to tasco
and i got enchiladas chicken and salads and i'm actually so good okay
i've almost eaten all of them now but i'm going to try and eat some other stuff this weekend
because i don't know i never do so let's see
so it's like a little over three hours on a bus this is steep um i'm going to go to zocalo
i got something to eat
and i don't know how i feel about it but i like the field
i was just talking to the waiter he said my hotel is like up why can't i see my finger up here
and it should only be in a taxi like 50 to 60 pesos but walking right now in the
rain he said it's like over an hour i don't really want to walk over an hour in the rain
taxis
the streets are crazy
that looks over all the time
i just start by saying i wish i could wake up to this view every day it is so nice yeah so
this is tesco it is amazing like i saw so many things singing oh the city's beautiful it's so
nice when the bus pulled up i was just like oh my god they weren't lying would love to spend more
than just a day here um even just like walking all the little streets like but tesco is known
it used to be a silver mining town so it's the silver capital of mexico um so there's
tons of silver stores there's the silver market today so yeah maybe i'll buy something small
i don't really wear like any jewelry but yeah i mean i'm here so we'll see and then here is the
chryst statue i'm trying to go to it's supposed to have an amazing view of the city i mean like
my view here i think is amazing but i am going to get up there as well so
let's go i'm leaving now trying to find some breakfast they said that walking to the center
is only 25 minutes i don't know if i believe that but whatever i guess i'm gonna try walking
all right i'm finally at the bottom of the horrible the one way that only goes to the
hotel now there's like a normal road uh i definitely do not recommend that
even the oxos here don't have oxo colors
the streets are tiny and there's no sidewalks there's just cars driving right by you
i thought i was gonna get all like mexican food so i was planning on chilling for breakfast
oh my god look at my eye oh no how awkward was that i guess when i put on sunblock my
eyeliner went all here and i was just talking to the guys at the restaurant
oh my god said this chimichurri is not spicy and then a little spicy and that one's very spicy so
i just got coffee and i asked the guy about walking from here up to the christ statue
and he basically acted like i was crazy he said you don't want to do it get a taxi and
i was like well i want to walk unless it's like more than an hour and he was like yeah don't walk
i don't know i might try we'll see
all right so i'm in zocalo at 11 45.
um i'm just gonna walk up and see how far i get i guess i don't know we'll see
i'm gonna sit here for like 45 seconds and breathe so zocalo is here
i've been walking maybe 15 minutes from there so i think i'm doing pretty well and just stumbled upon
this like super cool church so this is why i love just taking random streets because there's like
like this super cool and then this view it's like a little viewpoint area and it's amazing
that's like four different people now for directions
because there's so many little side streets but everyone is so nice
he came back to tell me where to go
he's like the first person i asked where to go
and then he came running up behind me to take me and i'm dying but
there's so many stairs
it's now 12 30 and i was in zocalo at 11 45 so took 45 minutes to get here but that's with
i've been in mexico city for two months so i'm slightly used to like a little higher elevation
and i go to the gym almost every day and when that kid came and joined me he was like keeping
pace like i was dying so i don't know how long it would take like a normal person without those
but yeah it was definitely difficult but definitely doable
the one positive there though is
i don't remember what i was going to say
at least from here that i only have to go down they have this like metal thing that
goes over the edge that people are laying on to take a picture that's kind of terrifying
uh
i met a guy at the top from san francisco we were like chatting for a little and he said that they
took a taxi up and when i said i walked he was like what they told us it would take half a day um
so i was like yeah same they told me not to walk that it would take a really long time uh but yeah
guys letting me come in his church to see
that's cool he's asking me if i went up to the statue because i was taking a video
and said there's a nice view in here
but yeah i love everyone here
hey john i just want a drink and like a snack and the view would be nice i guess
i think this one is like the most expensive one i've been to like the salad was 170 pesos
but that's like a lot um but this is my vacation so uh can we sell silver 0.925 which is
apparently 92.5 percent of silver and then the rest is 7.5 copper to make it stronger so you're
supposed to find it saying like 0.925 on it to make sure it's the right percent like real
is
i just got a necklace for 150. it's kind of a lot well not really but compared to
all the other things but it was really cute and i got some little studs for 40.
dying i feel like i'm so sunburned um i have a bus in like 50 minutes so i'm just chilling at
this bar i was just going to get a drink to like wait for the bus but they have pizzoli on the menu
yeah so i'm going to try a small pasoli
this is actually really good yeah i don't think it tastes really good i would definitely eat it again
running down this hill to the bus stop which is hopefully he said less than five minutes away
