Mexico City here we come! ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ

As some of you know, weโ€™ve been dreaming about this for a while. Times like these didnโ€™t make it easier but still not impossible.ย 

 

We arrived safely and have enjoyed a couple of days in beautiful Mexico City. At 2250 m (7380 ft) above sea level it took us a day or so to adjust to the altitude.ย 

 

 

My first impression of Mexico City

I was surprised by how clean the streets of the historical center were. They have cleaning personnel scrubbing the already very clean cobble-stone pavement and the spaces between the stones. Insane!

 

Outside the historical district we visited the markets and busy streets of Mexico City. Here itโ€™s a lot more chaotic and louder!ย 

 

At the Gran Hotel we treated ourselves to a three-course meal and got to experience a Mexican national dish called Chiles en Nogada. It wasโ€ฆ interesting! Let me know if youโ€™ve ever had it and what you think about it. It is a cold chili pepper stuffed with minced ground beef, pork, almonds, raisins and other dried fruit, all covered in a walnut sauce, parsley and pomegranate. It was wild! So wild I might never try it againโ€ฆ but who knows.ย 

 

Beautiful Mexico City

The architecture in this city is amazing! There are lots of old buildings, really impressive but partially also in quite a bad state. Some of them have trees growing out of them. Others look well taken care of.ย 

 

People are very friendly and like to chat (in Spanish!). Soโ€ฆ what this means for us is that we need to pimp up our Spanish game so weโ€™ll be able to answer in more words than just Si and Gracias.ย 

 

Today we moved on to Puerto Vallarta which is a beach town on the Pacific coast. Weโ€™re hoping for more delicious food and new connections with locals.ย 

 

Thatโ€™s my update so far. Thank you for reading till the end and hasta luego!
