The Metro

My bedroom at The Red Tree House, a small guest house in La Condesa that my friend Zeke recommended and that, as you might be able to tell from the picture, was a fantastic place and which I can recommend to anyone. Aaron and I stayed in the Penthouse.

Walking to Javier's place in Roma, Aaron and I came across the filming for a Telenovela. The plot seems to involve a lost dog named Flofi.

The Geology Museum in Santa Maria de la Ribera, which appears to be unchanged since the Porfiriato.

This chicken vendor at Jamaica market claims his chickens are the best but his visual metaphor makes me think they're pumped up on steroids

Vochomania - The original Volkswagen beetles were manufactured at VW's factory in Puebla until 2003. The iconic Mexico City taxis still prowl the streets but they are steadily disapparing, like NYC's Checkered cabs.

Santa Fibra, perdone mis pecados alimentarios Seriously, I had no idea Kellog's had so deeply extended the All Bran brand into ancillary products in Mexico. All I can say is, gracias a dios

Molletes at Sanborns in the Zona Rosa for breakfast

Tortilla Soup at the Four Season on Reforma. I'm usually more of a street foodie but my friend Aaron swore by their soup. And he was right. More Mexico City Pics Mexico City Flickr Set, all the photos above plus another 60 or so. My friend Aaron traveled with me, took lots of pictures and posted them on his blog. He's a lot more daring about taking pictures of random strangers and so the images are quite interesting. The photos are on four separate posts: one, two, three, four.
