Oaxaca, Mexico, has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember. So, this week, I decided to take myself there. It is a place that I have always wanted to travel to because that is the state where they grow Agave and produce Mezcal. I’ve always wanted to see how Mezcal and Agave grow and are made, so I took myself to an Agave farm; it was the most amazing experience ever. I got to see many different types of Agave plants, learn the difference between Mezcal and Tequila, and even cut one of the plants. It was such a great experience. I loved learning about the long history and tradition of Mezcal for the Mexican culture. I was in awe of the process as I saw all the steps to make this amazing liquor that I love so much.
When I first landed in Oaxaca, I saw a poster for CMLL. So, I texted Rocky to see if I could make an appearance. It was right down the street from the hotel that I was staying at. But Rocky didn’t get back to me because he was in Japan, and I needed him to get in. So, Rocky, be warned, I will punch you the next time I see you because I really wanted to make a surprise appearance at CMLL.
My week in Oaxaca, Mexico, was filled with daily parades celebrating the Day of the Dead. The city was so beautiful, filled with decorations, oh, and the food was so amazing. Since I didn’t appear at CMLL, I joined the parade around the city. It was such an incredible experience. I jumped right in, danced with the people, and celebrated the culture and the Day of the Dead. I cannot wait to go back. It’s now on my bucket list to stay for an entire month. I want to do a deeper dive into the culture. I just fell in love with Oaxaca.
