Random Thoughts

Here are some random thoughts on our time in Mexico City:

  • Mexico City feels more European than tropical. The altitude causes cooler temperatures and less humidity. The architecture and city layout have a definite Spanish influence.
  • A smile goes a long way here. The people are very friendly and when language is a barrier, a smile will help. 
  • In Calgary, I'm slightly taller than the average person. In Mexico, I'm a giant. Having a pale complexion and blond hair makes me stand out even more.
  • The food is amazing. There is so much more than tacos. Foods like tomatoes and chocolate originated in Mexico and they've been cooking with them for thousands of years.
