Teotihaucan

Located about 25 miles northeast of Mexico City are the ancient ruins of Teotihaucan , now an archaeological and UNESCO World Heritage site. From Mexico City we took an hour bus ride to Teotihaucan, which was busy with tourists even on a week day. It was worth it, though. The site is remarkably preserved and maintained. It's also massive. You could easily spend an entire day exploring it. I did my best to capture the scale of these towering pyramids, but I'm not sure that I did it justice. Main takeaway: Humans are remarkable. I can't believe people were able to building thriving, complex metropolises with nothing but their muscles, minds, and rudimentary tools.

Mexico City

Last summer I flew down to Mexico to meet up with my brother, who had been teaching English there for a semester. Despite living near the Mexico border for a number of years, I had actually never made it to the country before. I missed all the typical touristy beaches and sketchy Tijuana escapades and went straight for the mega metropolis that is Mexico City. I'm not sure what I was expecting. I think I honestly hadn't thought much about what Mexico City would be like. I went because my brother wanted to show me the city, and not because I had ever really thought about going before. However, I quickly realized why he'd fallen in love with the place. We stayed at an Airbnb in the trendy Condesa neighborhood, which was composed of meandering tree-lined streets that intersected at lush gardens and parks. It was all kinds of delightful: old rambling colorful homes decked out with wrought iron and stonework interspersed with modern boutiques, cafes and restaurants. Gourmet cof
