TODAY:

woke up around 10 am
- most places don’t even open until 11 or even 1 pm
head to a seafood restaurant recommended by Erick
- 1 hour wait
- second restaurant also had a line for half a block
found a little place a block away with good reviews
- we were the only people there, but they were excited to serve us!
- owner didn’t speak English but used sign language to great effect
- explained which sauces were spicy and which were not
- he gave us a little shot of soup which was amazing
- ceviche was tasty
- milanesa was probably unnecessary
- sopa de mariscos was delicious

took an uber with Bernice to her birthday event
- Chapultepec Park was very large!
- met a few of her friends
- played frisbee, bit of acroyoga
- Bernice’s roommate brought a fancy cake out!
head back to AirBnB
- dropped by a Walmart on the way
- apples and pears are not as cheap as I thought they would be
check out gym
head to a japanese ramen place for dinner
- broth could use more flavor
- pork had a great seared flavor though
lovely walk back
