Luis Blog 365: Epic trip to Juárez...

This weekend I visited Juárez for the first time in like 5 months, I had to met my first niece and the first granddaughter of my parents, she was born three weeks ago and since I was doing good with my finances and found some cheap tickets I decided to go, although I just went for the weekend so I wasn't going to have much time to meet friends.

I just saw Sergio and another two friends that I really wanted to see, although I wasn't sure if I was going to see them or not since I really didn't have much time. I arrived Friday at 4 pm and left Sunday at 7 pm, I arrived at Monterrey at 12 am and got home at like 2 am and I had to get to work on Monday.

Since I wanted to spend a good amount of time with my friends and my family I didn't have much time to rest. I met Sergio on Friday like at 10 pm and I went to sleep at 4 am and then I had to get up at 6 since I was going to met another friend in the morning, we got together at around 9 am and I got home at 2 pm, then I spent time with my family till like 5 and went out with my other friend, we went to eat then went back to my parents home and we played video games till 5 am and then went to sleep, we slept till 12 pm... well, she, I slept till like 9 and then was trying to rest but couldn't get to sleep, lol. After that I accompanied her to a near mall since someone was going to pick her up there at 2 pm and after that I went home and spend my last hours with my family.

This weekend I really pigged out, I arrived here and bought pizza, then with Sergio we went to eat some tacos and I drank a coke. Then in the morning I went with a friend to eat at a restaurant, we ate an omelette and then a yogurt ice cream. When I got home I ate some pizza and then with my other friend we went to eat sushi, but it wasn't just sushi, we ate some ramen too and some dumplings, some tea and prepared sake (next time we will try sake without anything else though :P), and after that we bought some chips to accompany us while we played The Walking Dead, after more than 6 months we finally finished that game, it was awesome, we played from 11 pm till 5:30, then we went to sleep. Since I woke up earlier than my friend and I was hungry I decided to make some breakfast, I prepared some Eggs in a basket for us, but she was too tired to wake up and eat, lol. So I decided to wait till she woke up to eat them with her, in the mean time I went with my parents to eat some barbacoa and then went to sleep again, or tried to rest at least.

I took a shower later and when I came back my friend was finally waking up, we ate breakfast, talked a little and then I left her with her friend that came to pick her up.

When I got to my parents house I spent time with my family and ate some more, my sisters husband brought me some menudo, I seriously don't know how I was able to eat so much, but I was pretty sure I was going to get a little sick since I really don't eat anything like that here. Said and done, when I arrived at my house in Monterrey I had a stomachache, luckily I didn't get sick, it was just my body dropping all of that, lol.

Outside all of that, I too wanted to come to pick some things that I asked Sergio to buy through amazon, a backpack, a pair of headphones, a onesie for my niece, a water bottle (a portal water bottle :P) and an induction cooktop.

I asked him to buy these things there since I can't really get anything of that quality here, I have seen backpacks twice the price and half the quality, I haven't seen induction cooktops here worth buying and so much expensive than the one I bought, headphones... well, they were cheap and since I already was buying I said, why not? and the onesie I bought for my niece I didn't find anything like it here, same with the water bottle, they just don't sell that kind geeky things here in México.

So yeah, that was my past weekend, hopefully I'll go again in December, at least that's the plan, I was dying of tiredness on Monday, but it was all worth it.
