This particular Saturday morning, we had painting to finish up. Our last bedroom needed its second coat. Afterwards, we wanted to go for a stroll and headed out to Chapultepec Park. On our way over, we heard a crowd cheer. It was coming from the Deportivo Chapultepec, a Sports Complex across the street. I asked the armed guard (YES, armed guard) what was going on. She (yes, she) said there was a tennis match b/w Spain and Mexico. There were still tickets so they twisted our arms to head inside. Ticketmaster tix were about $40 and that bought us center court seats. The tennis stadium was quaint and cozy with a clay court, but pretty impressive for a gym-type complex. We're still not sure if it's a public or private kind of place. Instead of chairs, all seats were similar to large cement steps. Seat #'s were painted on the cement and lines were drawn to delineate each person's space. It must sound uncomfortable but it was actually pretty nice. As it turned out, we had 2nd row seats again! We came to find out that the match was officially called the IberoAmerican Competition between Spain and Mexico. Each country had a team which consisted of about 5 players. But only 2 players on each team were competing that day. Guess what? Mexico won! Viva Mexico!After the match we wandered over to the zoo. Take 2!
