Late Sunday morning, we headed out for a big day of exploring. Our first stop was Tlachihualtepetl, the Great Pyramid of Cholula. It is the largest pyramid known to exist today with a total volume estimated at over 4.45 million cubic metres (yes, it is larger than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, which is […]
Our initial plan of staying in Mexico City for six weeks got extended by another week because we love this city so much and there was some work to be done. Work is exactly what we did for the whole week with just a dinner in a neighbourhood restaurant and a little trip to […]
After another day indoors on Wednesday, we decided to visit San Andrés Mixquic, a small community that’s an hour and a half from Mexico City, on Thursday. It was the last day of Dia de Muertos and the town is known for its celebrations of the holiday, which consist of ritual and cultural events that last […]
We spent our entire Friday in our apartment, doing a bit of work and recovering from the long day we had the day before. On Saturday, we took a walk to the historic town center in the afternoon to see the Dia de Muertos parade. Dia de Muertos or Day of the Dead is a […]
Monday, October 23, was when Prash and Harneet returned home. I was sad, but happy that I got a week with my little brother that I was not expecting to have. After dinner and some delicious crêpes for dessert, courtesy of our favourite biker, the duo were on their way back to the land of rain, […]
Prash and Harneet had decided to visit Teotihuacán on Sunday, and since Phil and I had already been there, we decided to let the kiddies do their thing while we took a day trip to Taxco. It is a colonial city that is nestled in the mountains of Sierra Madre and is a three-hour ride from […]
On Saturday afternoon, the four of us headed to the Frida Kahlo Museum. The building is also known as La Casa Azul (the blue house) and was the artist’s birthplace, the home where she grew up, where she lived with her husband, Diego Rivera, for a number of years, and where she later died. In […]
On Friday, the four of us headed to Xochimilco, a neighourhood in southern Mexico City that is famous for its canals and the Island of the Dolls. We got our boat from Embarcadero Cuemanco, one of the recommended ports, and chose the four-hour tour that included a stop at the Island of the Dolls. The […]
Our Monday on October 16 started like any other; we did our morning routine and then sat down to work. Phil decided to take a break late in the morning to run some errands and got a little taste of the corruption that is prevalent in many developing countries. He had taken his bike and […]
So, we edited and uploaded two new videos this week, from our visits in Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende respectively. The video are mostly while riding through the city for the former – but much less boring than our first one – but also include a great 360º sky view of San Miguel and […]
