Quick Shots From Mexico City 🇲🇽

As I create this post and work on my backlog we are gearing up to head to Guadalajara, Mexico in a few days. While my favorite Mexican city I've been to is still Oaxaca, it's hard to beat Mexico City for just "hanging out", and that's exactly what I did for about a week here while I was deep into some work at the time.

CDMX's city center square, Zócalo, is a must-visit. There's a Metro stop near by and lots of fantastic architecture and musems within walking distance.

One of the highlights of this trip for me was the postal museum. Shows the history of Mexico's postal system as well as having an amazing interior.

Highly recommend the Mercado de Artesanías La Ciudadela if you're looking for local goods to bring back. Of course, like any global crafts market, you're going to have to sift through a lot of Chinese made stuff, but definitely some gems here still.

Chapultepec Park is a fantastic reprieve from the city's sounds and smells. Definitely recommend renting a bike to take the trip around, if possible.

While the Polanco neighborhood is typically more upscale, there are still some good gastronomical gems to be had. I love the pork tacos/tortas above at El Turix. I've come here both times I've been to the city now. Cheap, authentic, and very tasty.

I'll be back soon...
