    Long Layover in Mexico City

    On Monday night, my friend Kristy and I began our adventure to get to Peru. Due to flight availability and prices, our journey to Peru resulted in 2 red eye flights connected by a 16 hour layover in Mexico City. When I travelled to Asia last year, I had two 6 hour layovers in Shanghai.
