History, culture, and tacos — our visit to Mexico City!
<p>We stayed in a beautiful boutique hotel. The kitchen staff served us breakfast each morning: freshly squeezed orange juice, hot coffee, flaky pastries, and <em>huevos rancheros</em>. We spent the first day <em>paseando por las calles</em>. Jacaranda trees with violet flowers filled the streets, which were lined with restaurants, small tables spilling out onto the sidewalks. Friendly people smiled and laughed. We walked down <em>Avenida Álvaro Obregón</em>. It’s one of the oldest avenues in all of CDMX dating back to the 18th century. The Art Deco street lamps and classical fountains made it look like a museum. We shopped at stores selling vintage clothing, art, and literature. Markets sold colorful fruits: papayas, mangos, bananas. The neighborhood was decorated for Día de Muertos. Alters and offerings honored and remembered those who have passed away.</p>
