Orizaba, "The City"

We left Huamantla for Orizaba and upon rolling into town, we stopped at the first convenient spot to get 6 bikes parked together...yep McDonalds...OK so there may have been some food consumed from the place as well...

The crew set out to get fed, find a hotel and I chose to hang out with the bikes and people watch. I saw a guy come riding through and park his cycle right over by ours. He had a BMW and was an engineer from Orizaba and we discussed bikes, travels and shared our appreciation for quality motorcycles.



















The town of Orizaba was nice and served us well. We made it to see 2 movies, the Portadores & 2012. A nice escape and totally took us back home for a minute. It was nice to be at home, while being at home with mexicans in their home. They see movies just like us and eat popcorn, nachos and candy... One big difference...they do an intermission which I really liked. It lets you really settle in before you commit to buying something only to realize you wanted something else. The best part, you don't miss any of the movie.

Bridger found us the happening night club to go to. We are above with the owner and had great evening. Drank some cervesas and tequilla and just observed the mexican nightlife. Lots of rap music and the only main difference observed was there was just about all male waiters, which seemed to be a bit different from our country.
