drinking in mexico city

been in mexico city for a couple of days for meetings. jet-lag-crash down around 9-10pm has been standard, but last night the party happened around the block, so managed to stay out until 12pm. a very good idea.

evening started off in a cozy italian organic restaurant, where we gathered around two small tables in the back with a fantastic argentinian syrah and a couple of bottles of organic brew from baja california. björk’s post streamed through the air. was served a marvelous gnocci puttanesca. on our way out a band started playing, doing justice to edie brickell and the new bohemians.

then we headed out to bar felix and ordered in brown tequila, a drink to be sipped, which for reasons unknown has never made it big in sweden. it’s drinking at it’s best, when the taste is the sole and instant intoxication. had to pace myself though, finished off with a large bottle of water after a second tequila, imbibed through salt-and-lime fashion.

had the most fantastic voice this morning.
