Tuesday night was the first time I went to Lucha Libre in Guadalajara. I had been to shows before in Mexico City in Oaxaca so it was nice to finally experience it for the first time here. This was a fun and entertaining experience and I got to see some other famous wrestlers I had seen at other Lucha Libre shows including the famous Mistico who has been in the business for 25 years and has reached legendary status in Mexico. Everyone from the little kids to the elderly ladies wanted to see him, shake his hand or touch his arm and he was happy to oblige throughout his match. If you are curious to read more about Lucha Libre and its history, I would recommend checking out this article here. I definitely recommend going to and experiencing a Lucha Libre event on your next visit to Mexico.

Have you ever attended a Lucha Libre wrestling entertaining event in Mexico?

What about a wrestling entertainment event in Japan or the United States?

Have you ever had a bed bug experience while traveling?

Do you have TSA PreCheck or Clear?

Do you feel more bloated when on an airplane?

Do you like going to speakeasies when going to new places?

What is the earliest a flight has ever arrived to your destination?

Feel free to answer some of these questions in the comments below. Anyways...onto Flakes.
