el estadio azteca y futból real

Went to Ciudad México on a sprinkling Saturday afternoon to catch my first football (what the rest of the world considers football) game in the second largest stadium in the world. It seemed like hardly anybody was there, but there probably was more people there than at any given Iowa State (U.S.)football game. The clubs, America and Atlante, tied 0-0. How exciting was that? Not very.

The primary concessions included beer (Victoria or Corona), cup of soup instant lunch (Maruchan), pizza (cheese, pepperoni or hawaiian from Domino's), chicken (fried), Cheetos, plus some others that I didn't recognize or try. Riding the metro in D.F. costs only 2 pesos -- truly the chariot of the people, well, that and the ruta.
