Our friends Matt & Galina told us they were heading to Mexico City the first weekend in February for a friend’s 50th birthday. With plenty of cheap flights, we decided to stop through to see them in one of our favorite cities in the world. We stayed in Roma and once again enjoyed great food in the neighborhood, Chapultepec park, and I even made it back to an indoor golf simulator shop. Twice.
We met up with Matt, Galina and their friends on Friday night to see luchadores at Arena Mexico. It started with a 3-on-3 tag team match. Introductions:
And action! Yes, it’s fake, but it’s still impressive to see the moves they pull off.
Next up was another 3-on-3 tag team match. This time it was men.
Celebrating victory.
A new match. A wrestler being thrown off the top rope.
They’d even go off the top rope outside the ring.
We met up Saturday afternoon and enjoyed some rosé at a bar overlooking the zócalo.
