Mexico City trip day 1 of 4. Breakfast: a small bowl of granola with milk. Packed for a trip. Rode UberX to SFO. Waited at the gate for about 20 minutes before Phil arranged to get me in as their guest at the lounge. Lite meal: penne with meatballs and roasted vegetables, caffe latte with a shot of bailey's. On the plane I watched John Mulaney: New in Town, Aziz Ansari: Madison Square Garden, Sky Ladder: The Art of Cai Guo-Qiang, part of Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. The passenger sitting in front of Drew had a 1990s-style flip phone. Rode UberXL to and checked in to NH Collection Reforma. The bellhop weirdly spent ten minutes explaining to Paul and me everything about how to use a hotel room. Short walk to dinner at Casa de Toño. I had tacos de cochinita and agua minerale. Back to the hotel. Unpacked. To bed late.
