Happy Halloween everyone! Of course, Halloween is toned down a bit in Mexico City, but there were a few revelers around town in costume and makeup. We were almost run down by a pair of masked motorcyclists in a crosswalk tonight. Scary! Our morning started out with a leisurely breakfast with pastries from the incredible Pasteleria Ideal bakery. So many cakes, cookies, pastries and desserts on offer in the large shop. It was incredible. People loaded up large tr...

Our little AirBnb loft is in a gorgeous building off the main pedestrian street not far from the largest square in North America. It is the vestry of an old beautiful building where the priest would stay and has a cute little chapel outside its doors with a dome painted bright sky blue. It is a garden courtyard with big tropical plants and the sky beams thru. At ...
