    Hanging in PDC Searching for a Rental

    October 15, 2020 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    We spend three weeks in PDC looking for a rental. We discover our favourite Empeñada place which is a little tarped off enclosure on one of the corners of the main streets.

    We try staying at a few hostels in the mean time where we meet some interesting characters... the first person we talked to at one hostel was a COVID denier 🙄 and we find out that the hostel owners establishment has (without his consent) become “protected” by the Mexican Cartel. Apparently they hold meetings at the hostel and occasionally kick people out for him. 😬

    We left after three nights and went to a different hostel that was really nice (even had a rooftop pool), however, the place was basically bro-city. It’s kinda hilarious hearing a middle-aged man talk about how he “stayed up until 2am” with his tinder date the previous night. Coooool story bruh. 😂

    Cost Breakdown (Approximate):
    Empanadas x 3 = 35 pesos
    Hostel for two nights = 1035 pesos
