After working hard, I had a few days off to go to Mexico for the first time! I was invited to my Canadian cousin’s wedding in a resort close to CANCUN. Since my flight was connecting in MEXICO CITY anyways, I stayed there for two days with friends of my parents, went out with other friends and discovered the city: the diverse and interesting architecture, the long history of the city, the beautiful colors, different looking people, the food, speaking Spanish, the Tequila and the nice people I met excited me immensely. I felt lucky to be with Mexicans all the time. Funny experience: I stayed with Marie whose origin is German (5th generation). I was very impressed that she still spoke German and naturally taught it to her little son. So Marie (Mexican with German features) and I (German with south American features) went through the city speaking German and confused everybody.
I arrived 5 minutes before the wedding started and it was picture-perfect: the wedding chapel was surrounded with sand and the ocean in the background, all the guest were already tanned and happy and the bride looked like a beauty queen. We had a great time and it was fun to hang out with this big group of family & friends for a couple of days, just enjoying the sun and drinks at the beach.
