Mexico city buildings

The first 2 days in Mexico City, Eli and I found ourselves feeling underwhelmed. All the recommendations we received for the trip were extraordinarily enthusiastic. The emails we got were all caps with lots of exclamation points. A few folks may have even uttered the words “best food city in the world”. It gave us unrealistic expectations.

waking up in barrio antiguo, monterrey, feels like stepping into a different world—a colorful slice of old mexico nestled in a city that, in many ways, looks more american than mexican. 🌆 while much of monterrey is filled with wide roads, modern skyscrapers, and malls that wouldn’t feel out of place in texas, barrio antiguo stands as a charming exception. this historic neighborhood, with its cobblestone streets, vibrant plazas, and colonial architecture, feels like a step back in time…

I went from having NO expectations to being OBSESSED with this city.
