a truly magical solo trip to monterrey. not only did the van hold up well but I ended up sleeping in it for just over half my time there. I experienced that iconic view at for both rayados vs chivas (not pictured here because I hung out in the barra brava and wanted to be respectful) and vs . then I climbed 3,800 feet up that very mountain (cerra de la silla aka saddle mountain) to see the stadium from a different pov (and met coati š¦). vs was incredible and of course, the coca cola cup is now a souvenir. I saw a lot of great art/history at both and (the latter was mostly in spanish, one of four hundred humbling reminders that I need to get better at it before I return). I can go into more detail later but the gist of this carousel is just views on views on views. the only thing I didnāt document well was food and for that, I am truly sorry. no, lo siento (the one phrase I do know lol).
