Mexico City

We managed to get some sleep, moved to a more quiet place, and had lovely days with our happy hosts in central parts of the city, ate a lot of interesting and really good food, and I have to say that mexican food is nothing like the "mexican food" we get back home, um um um, this is real stuff! We are quite brave when it comes to street stalls and street food now, and enjoyed a lot of great and cheap food in Mexico City.
The best thing about Mexico City was meeting up with our Norwegian friends Kristian and Martine, who have been traveling in South America and Central America for 10 months, we all had a lot of stories to tell, and spent a lot of time together:) grrreat times! We even went to a bullfight, you know, the real spanish thing with a matador and a bull and all, and it was, well, how can I even tell this, I know a lot of my animal loving friends will stòp loving me now, but it really was interesting! Like, really interesting, the stadion was full of people, and they treat the matador like a king or the biggest hero ever, and the ambience was amazing!! And what a show! They use approximately 30 minutes or more on each bull, and it really is like a dance and looks very well coreografed and all the colors, and all the audience are quiet and then at the same time shout OLÊ and it is really special! And the rules, I thought it was just about killing the bull, but no, it is so much more. The last 2 minutes are awful, of course, and they , don´t read this if you don´t have a strong stomach, but they even cut off the bulls ears after it is dead, and the tail, depending on how good a performance the matador made, and how much the audience are cheering.. Which was a bit odd. And then the matador and his team of men walk slowly around the ring and people go crazy and throw their hats and jackets down so the matador can touch it, and then you have good luck, or something. What a show!
And I am sorry to all of you who are really disappointed in us for supporting this thing, but I am happy to have seen it for myself. Hah.
