Live Music and Mexican Food!!!!!

Overall....this week has been really fantastic. I have been missing Mexican food....and have been feeling some pangs of homesickness this week for sure. And then. I discovered Casita Mexicana, and real authentic Mexican place in Düsseldorf!!!!!!!

They had nachos, REAL guacamole, burritos, tacos.....ahhhhh Himmel! (Heaven!) And, it was super affordable.....4 plates and 4 beers for only 30 euros!

Friday night, Kai and his dad invited me to see this artist Dub FX play in the northern part of the city....and WHOA. The show was really cool....this guy started making music as a street musician, and he made these crazy elaborate tracks from looping his voice in different ways. All he had was a microphone, his voice, and a pedal board where he used different effects from. It was really awesome, and I was really glad to get a sense of some live music.

Unfortunately, on the way to meet Kai and his dad I got in a little bike accident....These rollerbladers were in the bike lane coming towards me, and I mistakenly thought that they would respect my right of way and move. They didn't, we played chicken for a few seconds and then as I swerved to avoid them, so did they, but of course I ended up flying over the handlebars into the street, scraping the left side of my body, and flashing the entire intersection. I wasn't too pleased....so today I'm at home nursing my bruises.

More to come!
