Our third week in Mexico City was pretty low-key with most of our days spent on work. You may have noticed that the blog looks different since the last post. We made the menu more concise and gave the blog a cleaner and lighter appearance overall than it previously had. If you haven’t noticed, I’ll assume it’s because the content of the blog posts are so captivating that you can’t notice anything else 🙂
We did manage to fit in a bit of fun by making a trip to the fancy-pants Via Santa Fe mall on Monday to get the battery for Phil’s iPhone changed. We hung around and watched Blade Runner 2049 before heading back to our apartment.
On Wednesday evening, we met up with Simon and a few local bikers – Garry, David, Juan, and Mundo – at the Retro Classic Diner for a casual dinner and conversation.

On Saturday, we headed to a motorcycle trade show at noon where we met up with Garry. We stayed at the show for a couple of hours, considered getting some lights for the bike, decided not to drop that much cash, and then made our way to the Via Santa Fe mall for the second time this week since it was close by and we were hungry.

We decided to watch Kingsman: The Golden Circle so ended up getting out of the mall at around 9:00 PM. Unfortunately for us, it was raining and chilly, and we had chosen to leave our rain gear behind since the day was sunny. As a result, we had our first evening ride through Mexico City in rain and some navigation through flooded streets.
By the time we got back to our apartment, we were soaked to the skin and cold. Nothing a hot shower and warm cup of tea couldn’t fix though 😉
