We're back at our funky little hostel in Mexico City's Centro Historico--here I am next to my vinyl coated mattress, and then falling (not really) into a hole outside of our hostel. The construction made it a little scary to walk on the sidewalk outside!
Yesterday was incredible--not only did we go to Frida Kahlo's house in Coyoacan, but we ate churros filled with nutella and cajeta. If you've never been to Mexico and you think you know what a churro tastes like, I'm sad for you.
It was so incredible to be in Frida's house--we saw her bed, her casts, some paintings, letters that she wrote to Diego, and many other amazing things that belonged to her and her family. Frida has quickly become an idol of mine, so it was amazing to be in the place where she was born and grew up.
After heading to Frida's house, we hung out for a bit in the plaza in Coyoacan where people come to pasar tiempo no mas, a concept pretty foreign in the U.S. We then went to a teeny place where we ate sopes and quezadillas--they made the tortillas and everything else right in front of us. I was a little worried because that place definitely would've been shut down by the health dept in the US, but I'm turista free so far. Knock on wood.
Today was pretty tranquila. We're exhausted after doing so much in such little time, but we're resting up because we're heading to an antro tonight with Mirelle, Sergio, and some of our other nuevos amigos. It should be pretty fun.

You're making me hungry! I think I'll bring my big pants when we visit in March! I love that you have already done things and been places from your "to do/go" list. I'm so happy that all is going well.
