Well everything actually worked out pretty well. We each received $100 travel vouchers, had a nice stay at the Marriot and bought ourselves a new ultra small laptop. No that wasn’t free from United. But with all the spare time we had in LA we rented a car for only $18, found a Fry’s Electronics store nearby and found a Fujitsu LifeBook 810 that is so small and light weight I could hear my disks in my back re-inflating with joy. We shipped the large Dell laptop that we planned to travel with back to San Francisco. Of course we always seem to take up all the time we have available and are always late for everything. We almost missed our flight but made it with out too much stress.
As we flew into Mexico City, we had a good view of the sprawling city and very colorful buildings. I (Melissa) was a little panicked when I got my pack wrapped in United Airlines packing tape. The front pocket zipper appeared to rip open and some of my things were sticking out. Turns out that the only thing missing is my swiss army knife. I can deal with that.
The hostel owner, Angel, picked us up at the airport and gave us some great info to orient us to the city. We got here about 9:00pm (2 hrs ahead of CA) and walked to get some food. Mike wanted to make a bet to see who gets sick first. I was thinking I might win when he started pouring on all the sauces at the table. Is it ok to eat the salsa here!? I bet I'm going to be playing this game often!

Did you get the Asos laptop I discovered on the bike trip?
OK to eat up. Obviously steer clear of water, ice, and whatever drinks might have been made with said items.
I also heard a shot of Pepto a day will cause Montezuma to find revenge elsewhere. You will grow to dread that morning shot of pepto though.
