Guillermo’s guided tour
When a taxi playing loud dance music screeches to a halt in front of your hotel at 11:00PM on a Saturday night in Mexico City and Guillermo hops out … well, you know the rest. The name of the place was Butterflies, or El Butter, and it’s in the old central part of town. We were there early (i.e., before midnight), so we got a table. We started with a bottle of rum, the last drop of which disappeared some time between the midnight and 3:00 shows. (They have shows at 12, 3 and 5, and close at 7AM.)
I didn’t know what to expect, and I was a bit worried we might not fit in. Ha! Everyone was so cool, and we felt very welcome. I wish this place was in Seattle, we’d go all the time.
WARNING: these photos are bit different from the usual Doug’s World fare, in that they include partial nudity, sexual ambiguity, and hundreds of Mexicans having a good time. If any of that offends you, please don’t click here.

If you come across a place there that offers Corralejo tequila - try a shot of it - but sip it slowly….
I’m jealous that you have access to real Tacos al Pastor.

Well, Dave, there’s a local guy who wants to take us out for “real tequila” tonight — is that what he’s talking about?
Don’t get me started on that guy in the white hat, Dear.

I remember that “real tequila”. It was generously poured to me and Russell while dining (with Megan and Molly) in a cute little Mexican restaurant in Puerto Vallarta. Don’t remember much after that though. Enjoy!

We will … going to head out shortly and sample the tequila. Can’t leave Mexico without doing that, it just wouldn’t be right.

Hmm, we neglected to sample the tequila. Damn. I feel so disappointingly well this morning.

very disappointing.
heard an interesting story about the worm in the bottom of the bottle recently. Will try and remember.
Did you shop at all?

No shopping, but we did bring a bottle of tequila home with us. So we can sample at our leisure now.
