Kevin and I ended up spending a nice, long weekend in Mexico City over Martin Luther King weekend, the first time either of us had visited. We had a great time - the weather was great (72 by day, much cooler at night) the city was exciting and engaging and we scored an amazing hotel, Camino Real, for only $100 a night.
In this shot we were descending the Temple of the Sun, the third largest pyramid in the world, located in Teotihuacan, a historic area 50km outside the city with a number of temples and historic relics.
While we went to some good restaurants (and one incredibly bad one - never eat at 12:30 in the Zona Rosa. A Mexican diner that was serving what was easily one of the worst meals I have ever encountered) we both agreed the best Mexican food was found at the multitude of street cart vendors that dot the street throughout much of the city and, I suspect, the country.
Admittedly we probably tried to do too much in such a short period of time - the flight out of Laguardia took us through Dallas both ways and ended up taking over 8 hours both ways. As a result we only got to spend 2.5 days in Mexico total, which was definitely a day short of what probably would have made sense. Additionally, because of Kevin's job, we need to get back as early on Monday as we could, which required a 3:45am wake up call that morning.
It was an exhausting trip and admittedly I picked up a stomach bug on the way back, but it overall it was great fun.
