Notas de mitad de año

With quite a few things constantly evolving over the last several months, I haven’t actively paid much attention to this space. I’ve posted a few micro posts now and then, but nowhere close to chronicling things as much as I’d like to. This is a quick run down of a few things occupying my mind space: It’s been about four months since we moved to Mexico City. We absolutely love it here. People are terrific, weather is just right, and this city’s got a dash of almost every city we’ve lived in so far! M&S have been able to explore the regular tourist spots thanks to the CLO trips. I’ve joined them for a few, but what I really enjoy is just experiencing the city for what it’s got to offer - And there’s no dearth to that. Absolutely blown away by the city planning and the presence of so many parks. The city is spectacularly clean for the number of people living here. Every Sunday one of the main avenues is closed out to vehicular traffic and opened out to runners, cyclists and essentially anybody who wants to enjoy the roads. Amazed at the resources that the local government is able to draw from to sustain this every single weekend! We haven’t been that lucky to find decent vegetarian food here. Most local restaurants offer some form of meat in almost all dishes and the vegetarian items are rarely tasty. Dining out definitely leaves a lot to be desired - unless of course you try out other cuisines. I’m sure there’s good food out there - yet to find it though. ...

Tlaloc

After a couple unusually warm weeks here in CDMX, looks like the monsoons have finally made their way here! Poured on the way back from work. Wet to the bones and absolutely loved it!

Ciclovia Reforma

S has been thoroughly enjoying these Reforma Sundays. Over the last few weekends she’s scooter-ed till Sofitel and back. Today she wanted to do the ‘Three families bike ride’. Wanted to stop and get photos at her landmarks - The Panda, The archer’s fountain and the Angel Statue. She did ride around 7 miles totally! Betty - her bike needed constant refueling and the rider needed a breakfast fix - Bagel + Cream Cheese and Dragon fruit juice, on the way back. Lovely day to be outdoors! ...

Las Estacas

A terrific day outing to Las Estacas. Reminded me of our Silver Springs visit in FL about five years ago. S kept mentioning this has been the best outing ever! She surprised us with wanting to jump off a 10ft high swing into the spring. I was hesitant at first - But boy I am so glad we did it! She didn’t want to go back for seconds but she absolutely loved the jump. A good deal of swimming, catching floating leaves and just wading around. Swimming upstream was a real fight! ...

Paseo de la Reforma

Paseo de la Reforma is partially closed for vehicular traffic on Sundays and open for recreational use. Absolutely blown away by the sheer presence of hundreds of folks running, biking, skate boarding and roller blading. Also these sidewalks…Truly magnificent!
