Went to dinner at Petite Abeille last night with Tanya and David, who are living in the city for the summer! Triple yay for excellent company, moules frites, and Chimay Red Ale. Yumyumyum!
You must be awfully confused right now. that picture above is OBVIOUSLY not of mussels nor fries nor any cute Belgian restaurant in NYC. What it is is a delicious-looking Taco stand in Mexico City. We started talking about Mexico City since that's where David grew up. Tanya and David have traveled there several times (but let's be real, where have they NOT traveled?), and mentioned that I would really love it there. After that, I did nothing short of invite myself to David's family's next Christmas get-together. Ooops, better dust off some of those high school Spanish textbooks. I've never been to Mexico City but have heard nothing but excellent things about the place- from it's native citizens as well as tourists who pass through. Everyone raves about how vibrant, how cultural, how bustling, how CHEAP! the city is...(Tanya really sold me on the $2 ceviches and guacamole)
It really got me thinking about my future travels, where I will go next and how long I will want to go for. That, and how I will fund the means to do so. Well flights to Mexico City are no more than $300 during off-peak season, so maybe you will see me there after the summer! A couple months in Mexico City to pass the cold NYC winter blues? I mean, porque no?
