We have reached point where we are panicking that we will miss something, mostly either some food or a cultural site. We started the weekend off on Friday night by re-visiting La Casa De Toño, a fast food place. We had tentative plans to see our friends, Stephanie, Teresa & Vanessa (henceforth to be referred …
Eating, Walking, Biking, Eating
We kicked off the weekend with a BBQ with Stephanie, Teresa and Vanessa. The last time we tried, we were thwarted by people who planned and had reserved the roof deck. Friday, we were successful. Steph and Teresa brought meat from Chihuahua, Steven made chicken shwarma, I made vegetable fried rice and bought a veggie …
Seder, Pyramids, Baseball and Friends: A Perfect Weekend
What's Pesach without a seder? How would I know why this night is different from all other nights of the year? We decided to invite our friends over since they are interested in Judaism (one of them is technically Jewish, but was not brought up religious), so we trudged (and by trudged I mean Ubered) …

One Day Road Trip
Yesterday, we went on a one day road trip with our friends Steffanie and Teresa, and their friend (and our new friend) Vanessa. Steffanie and Teresa rented a car and we decided to head to see the Popocatépetl and Itzaccihuatl volcanoes and then the Great Pyramid of Cholula. Itzaccihauatl (which is dormant) and Popocatépetl, …
48 hours in Oaxaca
This blog is dedicated to Aunt Es, who always had a great question about our travels and always listened to our answers. We've hoisted a glass of red wine for you, Aunt Es. You know how there are all these features online and in travel sections of what were formerly newspapers titled "48 hours in …
Happy St. Patrick’s Day from CDMX
Last year we were in Rome for St. Patrick's Day. Wow, does that seem a looooong time ago. Our lives are packed with new experiences. Anyway, we tried to go to an Irish pub, but it had lost power and was closed, so we ended up at a wine bar. No complaints, but no green …
Daylight Savings Us from the 6 a.m. Gym
When you woke up this morning you had somehow lost an hour of your life. When we woke up this morning, we had not. Time is relative. I think it was Einstein who proved this, although I might be confused. Last year, the Mexican legislature decided to do away with Daylight Savings Time. It is …
Our first visitor in Mexico City
Last week my daughter Abi came to stay for a few days. She spent the prior weekend in Mexico City for work and visiting with some friends. Once all the fun had ended, she came over to our place and stayed with us. She lives in London, so we don’t get to see her that …
The worst laid plans
You may know that we walk. A LOT. And when we walk, we pass restaurants and other places and we say, "We should go there," and then when we want a place to go, we have forgotten every one of them. No worries, we figure, we will just walk the way we walk and a …
European Castle in the Sky
Last weekend we decided to explore the city a bit. We started Saturday morning by going to the gym and following that, we ate desayuno (breakfast) at a little café down the street. We both had chilaquiles, which for those of you who don’t know, is basically breakfast nachos. Corn chips with salsa, and then …
