Woahh Mexico, I've never really been so I guess I should go!

I have made it to Mexico City!! The flight was fine, slept a lot (sleeping anywhere is one of my most gifted skills). I enjoyed the longest Christmas ever, sharing LEGO santas  with as many people as I could. I think the most grateful recipient was the young boy sitting next to me on the flight from Auckland to San Fran. He was suffering hell on earth when we landed due to pressure in his poor wee skull. Something my family will know I can relate to, as that was me at a child. I gave him a LEGO santa and he said "no that's your santa", I said I work at LEGO so have way too much LEGO. Then he took it. Phew.

When boarding our plane to Mexico City, a guy in front of my boarding paused to kiss and pray to the plane. This buzzed me out a little bit, but it's surely not a bad thing being on a plane which has been prayed for. When we landed  the guy behind me started singing 'Feliz Navida' my brother Fynn's most favourite Christmas song. At that moment I ALMOST thought I had had enough of Christmas for one year. I believe this is a good sign of the tone of my holiday to come.

My luggage didn't quite make it to Mexico with me. I wasn't really surprised as due to a delay in San Fran I only just passed through American customs as my plane was already boarding, I had to run to make my flight. My pack doesn't however have legs to sprint as well as I can. 

The important things made it to Mexico

United airlines said it should arrive today at midday, so we will see. 

Update: bag arrived at 3:35pm. Just after I had left my apartment and ordered my first Mexican tacos. Luckily I was on the same block so just boosted home, put my bag away, change into fresh clothes and return just as my tacos were ready.

So much Guac I couldn't eat it all alone!!
(felt like the worst sin leaving delicious Guac behind)

Also later than expected (just like my pack) my friends arrived to the apartment at 11pm that night. So I had just 24hrs alone in Mexico City. Mandy (who I was in Cumberland college with at Otago Uni), her husband Hamish, and their friends Ang and Simon. So nice to have some lovely people to explore Mexico City with for two days before we head our seperate ways for New years.
