Road trip day 2!




Goood Morning! Boy did i have fun yesterday evening/night! 
Sooo after i shut off from you guys i popped my comfy shoes on and we headed of to the temple, after getting so lost we finally found it, we realized we must of had our head in then clouds because it was hard to miss hahah, it was extremely stunning, big archways and beautiful stain glass windows.

We followed the temple with a sneak peek at Parque Agua Azul however it was closing and so most of the interesting stuff was locked up! However i would like to say a big thanks to the security gard who snuck us in after closing so we could get the jist! It looked very cool so we agreed to return today. After our little adventure around the the city we got ready to go on out! I met up with Natcho at the black sheep, very cool bar by the way, its in this cute little square with fairie lights on the outside and a campy feel to the tables that sit under shelter, their pizzas are made in a log oven so i enjoyed the smokey scent of the wood burning while i gulped down fairly priced beer. It was good to see Nacho again, he hadnt changed a bit except instead of his hair being the fuzzy afro i remembered it had been slicked and styled so the curles sat neatly on his head. We talked alot about the last two and a half years and he enthusiastically gave me the download on how his band is going. They are doing pretty well,  at the moment and are on the verge of a record deal with a mexican label. Though most of their songs are in spanish a few are in english so if your interested go check them out their name is Barston, their genre is pop/rock and i think they are pretty grovayyyy.
Barston, Nacho is the one in black haha!


 Any way after a couple of beers we bounced and headed to an underground bar/club that Eme's friend took us to called UV, if your in the area and you like electro and minimal music you will love it. Filled with hipster types and cool wall art the place is pretty chilled and has a good vibe. I thought the boys how to dance and had a jolly old time giggling at Nachos lack of rhythm.  


Us at UV arent i cool? left to right: Me, Eme, Pacco, Nacho


At around  one thirty we decided it was time to move on so Pacco, Emes friend led us to another club, the lines were long but it wasnt too hard for us to get in, i can't remember the name unfortunately but the interior was pretty cool, fashioned like an old english pub but had hardly any where to sit meaning it had a massive dance floor that was packed with fancy arty types and guys wearing paisley shirts. It was cool, but it was getting late and i wasnt feeling the atmosphere so after an hour or so i decided it was home time as i was nackered. Stumbling in at three thirty i crashed hard and got a rough sleep. After i have got some food in me and had a chance to explore i will check in with my thoughts on the day so far.
