Halfway to EDC

Took another trip to the capital this weekend for Halfway to EDC! I love going to Mexico City, especially La Condesa. There’s so much diversity for one neighborhood and it’s just so cute! I feel so independent taking public transportation. I even knew where to go this time! I headed over to Julie and Anna’s apartment on Friday. Julie and I went for a walk around La Condesa and got fro-yo. Oh how I’ve missed fro-yo! Then Anna joined us and we got our butts kicked by a Crossfit class. It was in the garage of an apartment and the class fee included a protein shake. The moves weren’t even that difficult but I was sore for a good 5 days after. After our workout, we treated ourselves to sushi. And when I say treated, I mean TREATED. A roll of sushi was about $20USD. It was delicious though, and I would have expected nothing less! By the end of the night we were in a night club where there were about 7 dance circles with middle-aged people getting there groove on to 80s music. It was quite the sight. Then we somehow got into one of the best club in Mexico City by acting like we were non-Spanish speaking friends of a blogger from New York. I still don’t know how they believed us.

Saturday was the big day! We prepped by taking the subway system to the mall to see what we needed for the concert. The mall was a no-go so we headed over to some shops by the zócalo and low and behold, Forever 21 pulled though! We had the most delicious and largest tortas on the way home. Then we went to Halfway to EDC! Mexico wasn’t quite ready for EDC. There were no bejeweled bras or furry boots. We looked pretty crazy in our floral crowns and floral-print tops. There were strangers asking to take pictures with us. The awesome thing about EDC events is that they have music AND rides. For free. They even had an adult-size teeter-totter. One side of the event was for 20 and under and the other side was for 21+. The music was awesome. I even got to go to the VIP. Each table had their own server and bottle service. After the show, we used the same line to get into the same club as Friday night. The music was even better at the club Saturday night! I was surprised at the amount of English speakers. It was a lot of fun.

Sunday was a sleep recovery day. When we woke up, we had Domino’s pizza for breakfast. That was a first. Then I headed back to good old Toluca. But not before I bought my tickets to the REAL EDC in February!
