Today we headed our to Mexico City once again. This time we will be there for 12 days celebrating Dia De Los Muertos. The day of the dead. Being raised in the U.S. and never having any recollection of the past of my ancestors, I journey over with excitement. We headed over and had some inflight reads. My recent copy of Conde Nest Traveler magazine finally arrived a few days before and I saved it especially for this flight. The magazine was the readers choice awards. I even found pictures of Mexico City that said “Still the best” and we all know it is. The magazine held everything from best cities, to best hotels, and even food. when we finally arrived, I found myself yearning for the City I loved, Coyoacan, where Frida Kahlo lived, were the coffee was the best, and the church where my great great grandparents were married at. Since the earthquake in September Mexico mexico has not been the same. We could see the damage all over. The city is still recovering. The church of San Juan that I adore, had the top of it fall off durin the quake. It was so sad to see. I took pictures and compared them to my old ones. Though the church was shaken, it was not destroyed. Just like the country. Mexico is hurting, but it will heal. There has been so much help since it happened, but there is still work to be done. My heart was saddened seeing the damage, but we will get through this.
The rest of the evening when we arrived was spent talking and eating and wandering the city. It was a good day to end the first night.
