Mexico City
Four days in Mexico City—GO! We stayed at a condo in Roma Norte through Airbnb. It was right above a local coffee shop and near an adorable dog filled park. There were so many cute neighborhoods in Mexico City. Even though our Airbnb was pretty walkable, we did have to take a few Ubers to check out some restaurants (Ubers were easy to get).
There were free street art exhibits going on while we were there (November).
The historic center of Mexico City hosts the Museo del Temple Mayor. At only about 4 USD, this is a must see. There is an indoor museum and also archaeological grounds with excavated pyramid ruins. Be sure to check it out!
Pujol—Click right for for pics!
Street Eats—as you can imagine, we ate every chance we could. For Adam, that was every street corner.
Of course our trip would not be complete without Lucha Libre! We went to the main ticket office when they opened (11am) to purchase our seats (definitely buy the tickets ahead of time if you can). The event is super crowded and they sell everything from popcorn to masks. If you are into wrestling, you don’t want to miss this!
One of my favorite things to do in Mexico City was to visit the local markets. They had a variety of street markets selling local goods, handcrafted items, food and so much more (food).
Animal adoption event—if we could only bring home another dog!
Mexico City has a plethora of stunning parks. They were beautifully manicured and some even had adorable well trained puppies in puppy school!
Although I may have had enough guac to last a lifetime, Nicos by far had the best chips and guac. The Lavender pepitas and homemade flan was also a must try on the dessert menu.
We ran into bakeries on every corner—and of course we stopped in EVERY ONE. One thing we ate quite a few of, conchas. Conchas are Mexican sweet rolls—they are simple and delicious.
Coffee Class through Airbnb experience— I finally learned how to properly use our Chemex!
