Markets & Monte Alban
Our first stop Wednesday was to Mercado 20 de Noviembre, a local market. We got some alright coffee and bread. Not a great meal. There may have been better places to go in that market. We saw a bunch of cops eating there, so assumed it would be good coffee atleast. One highlight of that…

Day 5: The lost day, museums and such
I messed up. haha. This day was originally missing and day 6 was labeled as day 5, so here it is: the lost day; Day 5 part 2: the day-ening. I’m glad I noticed this because it was a really fun day and pretty easy to write about. We started the day with an Uber…

Day 4 in Mexico City: Communism and Wrestling
Today was a jampacked day. We started early with breakfast at Cafe de Raiz. Rachael ordered her daily serving of chilaquiles and I ordered huevos huastecos. They were good, but Lalo on our second day was still better. Frida Kahlo’s House After breakfast, Rachael and I went to Frida Kahlo’s house. Frida Kahlo’s house is…
