I took a superbly interesting trip to Mexico in May 2022. Almost a month. The first stop was Mexico City, where I stayed for a week.

The idea was to get a sense, if only a quick one, of what a certain swath of Mexico was like.

So what better start than the capital, one of the world’s great cities.

My stay

In Mexico City, I stayed at an Airbnb in the Colonia Cuauhtemoc, a neighborhood just north of the Angel de Independencia glorieta on Avenida Reforma.

That “Angel” is often the image we see in the media to rep Mexico City, which is kind of vast beyond measure.

Of course, I did see some sights, but most of all I just enjoyed hanging out and walking around and looking at things. Some of those things:

Palacio de Bellas Artes

Like any trip or vacation, there were museums and art as well. These murals are found in the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Centro de CDMX.

The murals were amazing and a little bit overwhelming to take in all at once. This website has more detail on the art found here.

The Palacio de Bellas Arts building itself is a work of art.

This is Just the first post, there’s much more to come on the trip to Mexico!
