Mexico City: Coyoacan

September 8th, 2012. Mexico

Nik + Jamie

We spent a couple afternoons wandering through the neighborhoods and parks in Coyoacan. The first time we stopped here for lunch at a great park-side restaurant with super HOT salsa, then walked to the main square to have ice cream. During our brief ten minute walk, I really liked the vibe of the neighborhood. The buildings were old and well maintained, but not stuffy. The cats hung out on balconies. The people were friendly. The streets were lined with trees. I liked it so much that I couldn’t wait to come back a couple days later.

Unfortunately on our second trip, the neighborhood didn’t seem as quaint, but it was still pleasant!!

No, we did not go to the Frida Kahlo Museum or the Diego Rivera Museum. We did drive past them, but didn’t have the urge to go in.
