A wonderful early December escape to the warm, electric climes of la ciudad de Mexico, distrito federal, Mexico. Staying at a four star hotel on La Reforma was a fantastic bonus, thanks to a former girlfriend on mission for the World Bank. We had a lovely time, visiting her colleagues in their homes, enjoying a live performance at the Palace of Fine Arts (Belles Artes), and making the trek up to Teotehuacan with our friend Blanca Perez.
