Hitting the streets of Mexico City (literally)
Blog: Itinerant Londoner - 2 April 2009
Jetlag, altitude, tiredness and beer are a dangerous combination: in my first hour of being out and about in Mexico City, I managed to trip over the uneven pavements twice, the second time sending me sprawling onto the pavement and leaving me with a painful two inch long scab down my forearm. Still, after being [...]

The plethora of unique animals here never fails to entertain me, so thought I’d share a few photo highlights of critters (or representations thereof) we’ve encountered over the last 7 months here in Mexico City and beyond!!

Dining in Condesa: know thy strengths
Blog: Midwesterner in Mexico - 3 February 2009
Today was John’s birthday, so I ambitiously decided to make chilaquiles, only the best Mexican breakfast food ever. It is basically crispy, fried pieces of corn tortillas doused in a tasty salsa verde (tomatillos, onion, garlic, cilantro, serrano peppers) & cooked briefly until the chips soften a bit. Mix in some shredded chicken, top with optional [...]

Live caterpillars: Not my normal market purchase
Blog: Midwesterner in Mexico - 21 November 2008
The markets of Mexico provide for a veritable photographic wonderland, provided you are ballsy enough to break out your camera, blatantly take a photo of something, and run away without buying anything– all under the EXTREMELY watchful eye of the vendor of the object in question. Normally I am a bit shy when it comes to [...]

The witty statues of Chapultepec Castle
Blog: Midwesterner in Mexico - 10 November 2008
This weekend we visited the amazing Castillo de Chapultepec aka Chapultepec Castle in the massive park near our house. I will post more photos of this amazing structure at a later date when sleep is not as critical for me, but in the interim, I must share three statue photos that I took a shining [...]
