The bus from Guanajuato to CDMX was half an hour early getting in, unusual and an auspicious beginning to my last few days in Mexico. I was happy to be back in the city, looking forward to revisiting my favourite food haunts. It was good to see Alfonso again and nice to be at Anys with warm weather. I could leave my fleece and toque packed this time. Hopped on a bike and headed first to Mercado Medellin for a few groceries after which I stopped at La Burgesa for another totally decadent chicken burger like I'd had there before. Over the next couple of days I made a few visits to my favourite museums but this turned out to be a bad time of year for museum going, the slump after Semana Santa when things are slow and the timing is good to change exhibits or do renovations. Tried the Museum of Modern Art but there was only one exhibit open, a not very good one at that. Tried the Museo Archivo de la Fotografía but it was closed for renovations. So I had to content myself with just wandering around enjoying the architecture and the street activities and food. Not onerous tasks.
The view from the rooftop cafe atop a big book store in the centro. This is a favourite haunt of mine, a place to chill with a coffee or beer and look out over the ancient Aztec ruins and colonial capital buildings and cathedral. And right across the street are my favourite tacos al pastor.
