Subject: Post: Yesterday evening we walked around the city a bit, but didnt really find anything special.. Theres some kinda of city festival going on, and a lot of people were gathering on the central market square of the city, there were music performances etc.. Seems like all the pubs etc are outside the historic downtown, as we didnt find almost any of them..After exploring the city for a while we ended up just returning to the hostel and going to bed, and woke up pretty late in the morning. Looking for something to eat we took a metro to the Zona Rosa area, the citys \"tourist district\". Most of the big international chains have restaurants there, and obviously also the nightlife of the city is pretty much concentrated to Zona Rosa. It couldnt have been unnoticed that Zona Rosa is also one of the most liberal areas and the gay district of the city. The street vendors were selling gay porn movies, everything was pink and there were noticeably much gay looking male couples around...We grabbed some tacos from a local restaurant and decided today would be a good day to visit the Zoo. Well, that probably wasnt the brightest idea, as today is Sunday, the day off of the locals.. The large park where the zoo is located was crowded with people, and so was the zoo. Besides the crowds of people, the zoo was a pretty basic one. Not among the best ones I have visited, but not too bad either. The entrance to the zoo was free, the area was quite big and the cages in decent condition. Glass walls on the cages always annoy photographers, and unfortunately the Mexicans seemed to like using them.. So, not much good pictures from there.Back at the hostel now, going through the pictures and then thinking what to do today.. By the way, my shoes are pretty done with the walking here, as you can see on the last picture. I guess Ill have to find new ones tomorrow. Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
