Day 1
Honestly, this day was pretty boring, and we didn't do much, just got on the airplane, but what wasn't boring, was the night view of the city. One thing that was pretty crazy was we could see lightning from the plane, and being a Southern California kid, thats pretty new.

Day 2
First we went to the market in Coyoacan and we ate some yummy food. I had chilaquiles with chicken and it was really good. Then we went to one of the coolest museums, Casa de Azul, which was actually Frida Kahlo's house from when she was a kid to an adult. It was really cool because there was a room with her and Diego's paintings, but there were also rooms with her bed and her studio.

Then we went to dinner, at my favorite place, called Lampuga. I had mahi mahi fish with an amazing crust. It came with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. It was delicious! Then we walked around for a bit and stopped at oxxo for popsicles.

Day 3
First we went to Cafe Illuminista. I had one of the best caramel lattes ever! They also have a cute dog named Layla. Later my friends were touring UNAM, the main big university and I didn't really need to go because I'm pretty far from college so I actually went to the mall. I know its funny but it was near by and we had heard of some Zara chains that we don't have in the U.S. They were called Bershka and Pull and Bear. From Bershka I got a skirt and from Pull and Bear I got some sandals.
 |
| The mall had an umbrella roof! |
Then we went to two museums. The first one, Soumaya Museo, was pretty cool inside and out. It had an amazing Sophia Loren exhibit with her clothing and magazines and other things. (I will do a separate blog post on that!)

| How is this possible?! It's one piece of Marble, not fabric! |

| We where actually stuck in the rain at the Museum's coffee shop while I took this picture. |

Then we went to the Museo de Jumex which had one of my moms favorite artists, Alexander Calder. After we went to the coffee shop in the Museum and it was raining really hard! Then we took a taxi home and got ready for dinner at Pleno. At Pleno I had Chicken. The restaurant was really funny. We had our own little room (There was 7 of us) where we could play our own music!

Day 4
We went to a shoe store that my Mom really wanted to go called Goodbye Folk. They have really cute handmade shoes and clothing. They also have some other shops around that area.
 |
| They make their own shoes and sell vintage clothes, too. |
Then we stopped at one of the cutest little coffee shop called Cucurucho. They have a few of these shops in the city. I didnt have any coffee that afternoon, but I had a pretty good cookie!
Later we went to dinner at Merotoro. This was probably my least favorite meal, which was surprising, because the chef has a restaurant in Ensenada which I absolutely love! (That would be Laja Restaurant in the Valle de Guadalupe.)
 |
| Green. A lot of green. |

Walking.

Day 5
First we went to walk around for a bit in the Central neighborhood, bear the Palacio de Belles Artes, a really cool looking building, and found a little place to eat, I can't remember the name, but it was good. Then we went to the Museo Franz Mayer to see a bicycle exhibit but that wasn't there. It didn't matter, it was a really cool museum. My favorite exhibit was called "Tapas." It had all of these cool food tools.
Later when walking back in the Condesa neighborhood we spotted this cool looking Italian restaurant and ate there. It was called Nonna and it ended up being really good. I had bolognase lasagna.
 |
| Beautiful buildings. |

Day 6
On our last day, we walked around the Condessa for a while. Over the 6 days, we walked and in around there many times. It is a beautiful neighborhood with so many trees and parks and cute little restaurants and coffee shops. We stopped at a restaurant called Primos. It reminded me of a place in San Diego called Jaynes. Then we went back to the house to pack up. Im very happy that I got the chance to go to Mexico City! I had so much fun!

| Raining, but no one really cares. |
