Mexico City Part II: D.F. Highlights

posted on: Tuesday, March 8, 2016

Photos by: Olivver Simon

I love looking at this set of photos because I get to teleport back to Mexico City days with my hunny. He's seriously such an amazing travel companion. And because of life and responsibilities, these photos will have to do until our next adventure. CAN'T. WAIT.  

Definitely had some D.F. highlights that I want to share. So to elaborate more on my previous post, here are some traveling recommendations from me to you!

Restaurants, Cafe's, Taco Stands, Oh my!
There is definitely no shortage of places to get your grub on. It can almost be overwhelming. But when it comes to food, I welcome the challenge. One of my favorites was Mercado Roma. If you live in LA, it has a very similar vibe to Grand Central Market. There are many mini-kiosks that have everything form burgers to tapas to macarons. Basically an indecisive eater's dream! For a little caffeine fix check out Buna Café Rico. Cute ambience and good coffee- sold! For even more of a cuteness overload vibe and casual dining check out Lalo! That exclamation mark is no mistake my friends. In addition to Lalo!, Chef Eduardo García (also of Maximo Bistro) created the menu for Pueblo 109. This place offers herb and fruit filled cocktails as well as yummy plates that are currently making my mouth water. The atmosphere can be described in two words- hip AF. 

Sights and Attractions
If you follow me on Instagram you might have caught this photo. It was taken at the Museo Nacional de Antropología. Definitely a must-see! The surrounding area to the building has a lot of great energy as well as vendors, people, and at one point a little mini circus act. If you happen to be there on a Sunday I highly recommend renting bikes and biking to the museum. It's a beautiful ride and bonus you get to bypass any traffic! 

We also spent a lot of time in Zócalo because of its proximity to our Airbnb. It is the main square in central Mexico City. Here you can check out the beautiful cathedral, museums, and authentic Mexican cuisine. Be sure to check museum operation times because they are closed on certain days for maintenance. I know this because we made this mistake...twice. Heartbreak. 

Probably my most favorite experience was attending a Lucha Libre fight!! It is such a big deal in Mexico and the energy is amazing. I suggest getting there a little early and grabbing a few tacos out front before the fight. You will absolutely be entertained. 

Meet Up With Locals
I am completely rambling but my last bit of advice when traveling, anywhere really, is to take advantage of local knowledge. I truly believe you get a completely different experience when you hang out with people that know the lay of the land. For this trip we got connected with a friend of a friend and it was amazing! She let us  tag along on her night out and we ate/drank/danced at places we probably would never have been to without her. And naturally you end up meeting more new people to send Facebook friend requests to. 

I can't express enough how important I believe experiencing new cultures is. Traveling allows you to have first hand encounters with people outside your norm which inevitably leads to being a more aware, well-rounded individual. Of course traveling does take certain finances which is why my boyfriend and I almost always opt out of traditional, tangible gifts and instead save up to take trips together both near and far. Even a quick few days up in San Francisco or a ferry ride to Catalina will still garner more rewards for me than a new pair of shoes. 

Rambling complete!

  8. God what a Gift from Dr happy, my name is Vicky Robinson . since 2 months I have witness what is called heart broken. my boyfriend that promised me marriage failed me and impregnate me and leave,he dump me,he stop calling" he stop picking my calls,and he no longer respond to me. I have be looking for solution,I fall into the hands of fake spell caster,they rough me off and took my money without help.I have cried,I have weep"and tears runs out of eyes. The silentness in my heart brought me to the deepest path of failure that I lost my job. Crying all day,because of my life was lonely. So thanks to happy that came into my life and brought me the greatest joy that was lost. I saw his mail while browsing and I contact and tell him what I am passing through with no doubt because what saw about him,was enough to believe. And I was given words of solution on what to do. I can't really help thinking about it I have tried to see what I can do, I manage to provide him some materials and he help me with the rest,after casting the spell, 2days after he came with rose on his hand and I was even about going out,i saw him in front of my door when he sees me he knee and said he is dying I should forgive him and accept him back he was crying,I can't wait to let him finish I quickly crab him and kiss him, just then" he said he is restless without me, just as the Dr has said he will be. He brought out a ring and put it on my hand. Our wedding day was scheduled,2week after we got married. today makes it 1 month and we are living happily I don't know how to praise him enough, he has done me a thing I can never forget. And I can't really share to myself alone, I want y'all to help me praise him because if it is wasn't for him I already plan of committing suicide. But right now I am now so happy more than I was before. And you out there crying for help you've already got one, Dr happy is the man that you need in all rampart. contact his address if you need his service, happylovespell2@gmail.com

  11. My life became devastated when my husband sent me packing, after 8 years that we have been together. I was lost and helpless after trying so many ways to make my husband take me back. One day at work, i was absent minded not knowing that my boss was calling me, so he sat and asked me what its was all about i told him and he smiled and said that it was not a problem. I never understand what he meant by it wasn't a problem getting my husband back, he said he used a spell to get his wife back when she left him for another man and now they are together till date and at first i was shocked hearing such thing from my boss. He gave me an email address of the great spell caster who helped him get his wife back, i never believed this would work but i had no choice that to get in contact with the spell caster which i did, and he requested for my information and that of my husband to enable him cast the spell and i sent him the details, but after two days, my mom called me that my husband came pleading that he wants me back, i never believed it because it was just like a dream and i had to rush down to my mothers place and to my greatest surprise, my husband was kneeling before me pleading for forgiveness that he wants me and the kid back home, then i gave Happy a call regarding sudden change of my husband and he made it clear to me that my husband will love me till the end of the world, that he will never leave my sight. Now me and my husband is back together again and has started doing pleasant things he hasn't done before, he makes me happy and do what he is suppose to do as a man without nagging. Please if you need help of any kind, kindly contact Happy for help and you can reach him via email: happylovespell2@gmail.com

  12. My husband and I have been married for about 7 yrs now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone. He started coming home late from work, he hardly care about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr Unity can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he did a spell for me. Three days later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Unity . If you need a spell caster that can cast a spell that truly works, I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you. This is his E-mail: Unityspelltemple@gmail.com .
