Retro Post: Day 9 - Mexico City

On Sunday, July 13 (Day 9), we left Querétaro in the morning and headed for Mexico City.  Mexico City is one of the largest cities in the world by population, and is the place where one in every five Mexicans live.  So Nick was quite excited and proud to have the opportunity to drive the ambulance through the city.

Once we arrived in Mexico City it was time for some lunch.  Axel took us all to the neighborhood of Coyoacan and the local market there.  Since it was Sunday, we had some really, really delicious tacos de barbacoa.  After that we stopped at the Café Jarocho, where they have coffee roaster right on site, for some really, really good coffee.

We don't have pictures of it, but Sunday afternoon was the World Cup Final.  We watched Germany win the game in a local place right off of the main plaza of Coyoacan.  After that, we picked up one of our new team members, Megan, who met us back in Tucson, and who now joined the team on a permanent basis.

Finally, in the evening we met up with Nick's good Couch Surfing friend, Cassio and Cassio's friend Alejandra for some great laughs, some more good food (quesadillas, and a hot cake with a design on it!), and a quick tour of the ambulance.  As you can see, Cassio loved it!
