First Days In Mexico City

Posted: August 6th, 2021 | Filed under: Out Of Town

Trying out something new: updating the Big Map in real time, as we’re traveling . . .

Landed on Monday, August 2 and settled into the AirBnB on the edge of Juárez. Woke up to enjoy the ballet below, and it’s been a while since my arm hurt this much from playing Punchbuggy:

First full day was mostly spent getting food and essentials, though we did pass through Plaza Giordano Bruno on the way to the supermarket:

Second full day we took a break to explore Centro Histórico, first stop being the massive Zócalo plaza in the center of the old city, which I thought I saw was the largest such plaza in Latin America:

From there, sweets at Dulcerí­a de Celaya and churros at El Moro:

Read there was a nice playground in Parque Lincoln in the swanky Polanco neighborhood, so there. Beautiful spot:
