Happy Birthday to JJ

We woke up on the morning of the 19th, and remembered that it was Jason's 28th birthday. Happy Birthday, JJ!

Needing some sustenance, we walked over to the Yug and had the Club Sandwiches and cafe de olla. (The waiter, the same from yesterday, said they didn't have cafe de olla, but they did have coffee and cinammon, and so we just combined the two. What's the difference?) The waiter poured the cinnamon into the coffee at our table, until we said 'está bien' (ok). We explained to him that, in the States, people say 'cuando' (when) when they want you to stop. He had a good laugh at that. (Later, when pouring us more coffee, he said 'cuando' when he was done. ;)

We caught the Paseo de la Reforma towards the South and headed Northeast towards the Zócalo. We passed the Palacio de Bellas Artes, walked into some stores, and grabbed some bebidas (drinks) at the VIP, a very popular fast food restaurant with tie-ins to the Justice League franchise. We were walking for about five hours!

We tried to grab a bite to eat at the vegetarian place near Javier's, but they were closed, so we opted for King Falafel. Shel had a pita sandwich with falafel; Jason had the falafel platter with hummus and tabouleh. The falafel was much better than expected. (The falafel we had in Vancouver was terrible!)

We stopped by an Internet Cafe to blog ($1/hour.) We'll be heading back to the hotel for some rest, before heading out to the Mercado de Artesanias tomorrow.
