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 […]
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 […]
Our third week in Mexico City was pretty low-key with most of our days spent on work. You may have noticed that the blog looks different since the last post. We made the menu more concise and gave the blog a cleaner and lighter appearance overall than it previously had. If you haven’t noticed, I’ll […]
On the morning of Saturday, October 7, we headed to Teotihuacán with our new friend and fellow Canadian biker, Simon, to see the pyramids. The origin of the city’s founders is uncertain; however, what is known is that the area was a large urban center around 1,000 years before the Aztecs, and the city was already […]
After a few days of productivity, we decided to visit Bosque de Chapultepec on Friday. It is the largest city park in Latin America and contains a zoo, an amusement park, museums, numerous statues and fountains, and dates back to the time of the Aztecs. Upon entering the park, we came across the Niños Heroes monument. The monument […]
