our dear friends j + j arrived just in time for the weekend and the 4 of us + mexico city was a match made in heaven. we had so much fun exploring this massive city together. we didn't have enough time to see everything on our list, but some of my favorite moments are: two trips to panaderia rosetta, an amazing french/mexican bakery, street taco after street taco, the BEST mango margaritas of my life at condesa azul, grasshopper quesadillas!, tasting (and getting tipsy off of) pulque at the pulqueria duelista, catching the bus to visit the pyramids, taking a second trip to both mercado de medellin, and mercado roma (where we had a cocktail at the best little beer garden), bar hopping for various mezcal sippers, and lastly our visit to plaza garibaldi which was the best decision we ever made. i've never seen so many mariachi bands in my life! 

take me back!

i am so grateful for my little birthday surprise trip – mexico city was such a dream. i'm already trying to figure out when we can get back there. the food, the tequila, the fresh juices, the beautiful green parks. and so much dang culture. we could have easily spend another week here roaming the streets. 

my favorite spots from our first few days here include: our amazingly adorable airbnb, the best lunch (ever) at guzina oaxaca, late night drinks at jules basement, multiple patio sessions at condesa df, roaming lincoln park and finding the cutest little garden patio, *almost* getting tats at the cabalerria, exploring the mercado de medellin, and lastly sipping mezcal on our rooftop patio.
