One day a street market set up shop OUTSIDE our FRONT DOOR at the bed and breakfast (they do it every Monday, apparently), literally, and we just opened the door, two tacos please (about .90 each), and BAM that was lunch. Incredible, home made lunch.Chickadee Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698323800314994028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-54579929799223338392016-11-19T18:22:52.076-08:002016-11-19T18:22:52.076-08:00Good!

I've never really believed it, but all that prejudiced misrepresentation in American media had left me with that image to work with. Thank you for giving me a glimpse at the real Mexico City. It looks nicer than most American cities I've been to.

It's a great destination and pretty close for you to fly there - it was only a 3.5 hour flight from San Francisco.Chickadee Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698323800314994028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-87554481299599123612016-11-17T21:18:30.512-08:002016-11-17T21:18:30.512-08:00Oh, I feel your pain, Alison.
