Lucha Libre in Guadalajara

Well, my day starts really bad, or rather would I say my night. I got food poisoning.... That is what you get from tasting everything, I guess. (One day later, Ricardo writes me, he is also feeling sick)

That's just how it goes. The original plan was, that we do Mexico City tourist bus tour... Change of plans. Everything is going super slow. Checking out at the hotel seems to be as complicated as checking in. But with Ricardos help everything works out.

Anyhow... I take a cab to the airport, fight with not falling asleep and all the other feelings I do not want to describe. I do not really know anything from my flight to Guadalajara, as I fall asleep instantly on the plain. Just got woken up to get something to drink and when the air plain was about to land.

Tania is already waiting outside of the airport and takes me hope to her place. There I sleep some more, till it is time for the Lucha Libre (wrestling).

As we have a huge traffic jam, it takes quite a while to get to the place. The area seems to be completely unsafe. A guy tells us where to park, as they want to make money, maybe also watching over the cars... Well, not 100% sure.

At the entrance we meet Carlos a friend of Tania. Who gets us cards for half price.

We are not allowed to bring cameras to the show, Tania has to return hers. Well, I have mine in my front pocket and no one wants to touch that region. ;)

Sadly I have to turn of the flash and make pics fast, so they pics are not really good. :(

Girls are standing in a row as the fighters march in.

Some wear crazy costumes. The one with the butterfly wings also has a little one with him. His finish move is to throw the little one up in the air down to his opponent. It seems that the bad guys are always on the left corner.

This one is super porky. I guess he is the most liked wrestler here in Guadalajara. But for most of the fighting he rests or jumps, sits on others... Oh and when I did move in, he did dance with some of the girls.

This one here is gay, when they won one of the matches, he gave the looser a kiss, while one of his team mates was holding the opponent. 

There are 2 types of tickets, the ones in front with better seats and the ones in the back divided by a fence. So the once from the cheaper places start to cuss at the once with the better places. So the once where we sit start to scream back.

After a few fights the show is over.

Carlos and Carlos

Even outside the cussing does not stop. Now everyone and thing is cussed by the people. Everything puts on nice faces and is laughing. For me a really unusual thing to see. 

Afterward Carlos is also coming to Tanias place. So we talk a bit. Tania and me go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine for me.
This night I shall sleep like a baby. ;)
