Anyway, it's Thursday which means this is my last chance to write about last weekend before I'm burdened with the task of writing about another one.
Last Friday night Kelsey, Lauren and I all wanted to go out so we headed to Barrio Antiguo and went to Club 22, the first club we saw that looked fun and not trashy. We definitely enjoyed ourselves socializing with some upstanding young Mexican gentlemen and partaking in a complementary bottle of champagne of unknown origin.
Unfortunately, Friday night's fun did not prepare me very well for our Saturday morning excursion to Cola de Caballo, a waterfall up in the mountains surrounding Monterrey. It was, in fact, a challenge to remain conscious; luckly, I struggled through and survived. The waterfall itself was rather unimpressive but some kids in our group decided to go bungee jumping off the cliffs, so I hung out and watched them be adventurous. When we returned, I slept for 12 consecutive hours. No es mentira.
Unsurprisingly, I woke up SUPER refreshed at 7:30 Sunday morning. Vanessa, Lauren and I went to "children's Mass" at La Catedral Metropolitana in the center of the city.
That was cute - every time there was music, a couple kids would get up in front of the microphone to sing and dance. Also, the homily was approximately 2 minutes long.
Afterward, we brunched at Romesco, an Italian place in Barrio Antiguo. Pasta con pesto and white wine --- amazing.
Later, we met up with more of our group to explore the Museum of Mexican History, which is free on Sundays.
It was modern, fun to walk around, and I maybe learned some things about Mexico. Recommended. (especially for free!)
& that was my weekend -- The day ended with our excursion to Wal*Mart, about which I've already said too much.
Time to go searching for hot water in this building and get ready to go out again ... ~!
