This past year has been a struggle for me & John to readjust from the “every other weekend = a 3-day+ vacation to a beach, jungle, colonial town or archaeological site” schedule that we got accustomed to living in Mexico City. (Yes, I can almost feel your waves of sympathy washing over me.) [...]

What’s happening this December in Mexico City?
December in Mexico City is jam-packed with opportunities for celebration, highlighted by the Día de la Virgen de Guadalupe on Dec 12, posadas, office parties, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve, just to name a few. I found during our time in DF that the Mexico City goverment (a.k.a. “GDF”– Gobierno del Distrito Federal) really gets [...]
A race to the finish: our final days in Mexico City!
One year ago last weekend, John & I were on our way to the Mexico City airport for the flight that would end our 2+ year experience as chilangos. All our worldly possessions were packed, all our kitschy souvenirs had been purchased, all the tacos al pastor that one person should ingest in a [...]
Olympic Festival this weekend in Mexico City
If you’re hanging around Mexico City this weekend, consider checking out the Festival Olímpico Bicentenario. This Bicentennial thing just keeps on coming!! It wouldn’t be a festival in Mexico if a major thoroughfare wasn’t closed off, so of course several blocks of Reforma are shutdown as of last night through Monday. Unaware of this excitement, [...]
A Visit to the Corona Brewery (aka Cervecería Modelo)
Have you ever thought to yourself, “What could I do today to support a giant, soul-crushing monopoly?” If you happen to be in Mexico City, I have just the ticket: a visit to Cervecería Modelo, just north of Polanco!
The name Grupo Modelo may not immediately ring any bells for non-Mexico residents, but it is the [...]
What to eat at the Tacos & Mariachi Fest in Mexico City
We visited the aforementioned First [Annual??] Tacos & Mariachi Festival after work today in Plaza Garibaldi, as I was curious to see what kind of festival could be organized in two weeks. I really should not be surprised to discover one does not need that much time to bring together numerous tasty taco vendors in Mexico [...]
1st Taco & Mariachi Festival in Plaza Garibaldi!
Alert to any Chilangos and/or Mexico City visitors during the week of September 3-12, 2010: two of my favorite things (tacos & mariachis) are being celebrated in yet another Mexican festival!! (Lest anyone forget how successful the LAST festival was that I recommended, please feel free to revisit my Burro Festival recap.)
I am hoping this [...]
I need a cactus chair
I came across an interesting blog today entitled “Hoy es un gran día para mostrarte lo mejor de México.” (Today is a great day to show you the best of Mexico.) It’s kind of an assortment of travel hot spots, activities, and design highlights around Mexico. Even if you don’t speak Spanish, he has some [...]
Mexico City Airport- Terminal 1 Meeting Point
After 30 minutes spent on the innerwebs trying to find an answer to this question, I thought I would share it with any other impending Mexico City airport visitors. (Consider it a follow-up to my “Navigating the Mexico City Airport ” post from last year.)
If you are trying to either go pick someone up or [...]
Sluggy McSluggerson recounts some Mexico Highlights!
Ok, so I’ve been a slug. Every now and then, I like to do a blog post outlining all the riveting topics I’ve been meaning to write about, promise you that I will actually write about them, and then never execute on this. Which sucks, because we have been some really amazing places in Mexico [...]
