The Big Smoke

Three or four hours sleep. Didn´t really sleep on the plane, but it turns out our tickets were executive class. Woohoo! Although Executive on Mexicana is not quite what it is on other lines.
Anyways, we landed in Mexico City with a couple hours to wander around before our flight to Acapulco. Headed out to wander the neighbourhood near the airport. Miscalculated the time change and realised our mistake just in time to hurry back to the airport. We stopped at a Taco cart just outside the airport (our first meal in Mexico and diving right in). As I watched the vendor´s knarled hands chop up the meat on the stained and cracked wood chopping board, then scoop it up in blood stained fingers into our waiting tortillas, a dark feeling of foreboding overcame me.
