Mexico City 2018

It's been two months and I'm still thinking about my trip to Mexico. It was full of surprises and adventures, and I took so many photos that I need to split them into two posts.

I spent my first week in Mexico City; I could have honestly stayed another week because there was so much to see, do and eat. I coincided my trip with Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and the festivities were underway. Marigolds were sold everywhere, especially at the markets, because they are believed to guide the souls of the dead to the ofrendas (altars) lovingly decorated by family members.

Did you know that Mexico City has more than 150 museums? I visited two during my stay, barely put a dent in it. I missed some must-sees due to ill-timing on my part, but my favourite way to explore the city was to wander.
