My experience in Mexico City was beyond expectation. I enjoyed it so much more than I ever thought I would. The city is a hidden gem. The atmosphere is a mix between European style architecture, aspects of the U.S.A., and some Delhi thrown in there. |
They say if you can drive in Mexico City you can drive anywhere. The people are also some of the nicest that I have ever met. The sites, the food, and the architecture are incredible. I ate vegetarian Torta’s (Mexican style sandwich), burritos, and tofu enchiladas with salsa verde. I visited Chapultepec castle. I rode in the trajineras at Xochimilco sipping on an authentic michelada with tamarind. I walked the Zócalo (main square in Spanish) by night. I explored Frida Kahlo’s house, and her studio with husband Diego Rivera, and meandered through the Soumaya art museum (where they had an amazing collection of Dalí sculptures). I strolled through Coyoacán on a Sunday night and stood with families watching street performers, fully enjoying the evening. I was advised before the trip not to sleep, and to just see as much as possible because Mexico City has so much to offer. Challenge accepted. I didn’t have the time to see the pyramids, which only means I will have to go back again. I can’t wait for the day.
