MEXICOWANDERER
Sep 15, 2018Explorer
There is a hyper-expensive new skyscraper in San Francisco that is already sinking and cracking windows.
It takes a pile driver and tons of piles to make a stable foundation pier in alluvial soil. Piles in Mexico? Ummmm... good luck.
The city population has exploded since 1985. I don't even want to guess at the statistics of a major event.
But my visits to La Enchilada Grandote are limited to federal permits and turista grade stuff
The museum is worth three days and a set of patines (roller blades)
Xochimilco but not on a holiday or weekend.
Some of the gastronomical temples in Polanco
And an obligatory taxi ride past La Casa del Perros, with mandatory barking out of an open window. The last time I did it the taxi driver was so startled he started laughing until tears came and we almost hit another car.
Some of the comedores in centro are stand up and serve surprisingly good food at reasonable prices.
