guacamole with fried grasshoppers

May 19th 2016
HE SAID... Today we were continuing to explore the wonders of Mexico City. We slept in for the second morning running, waking around 7am. We headed out at 9am, dropped our laundry off and walked to the Balderas metro station, which was reasonably close to our hotel.

This blog documents the feeding of our travel addiction - one country at a time. Travel is an essential part of our life, and we'll continue to travel until our addiction wanes (which probably won't be in this lifetime)! The more we travel, the more we see; and the more we see, the more we understand that we know so little - which is a brilliant thing. We love the little corner of south eastern Australia we call home, but we are at our happiest when throwing ourselves into a new adventure and experiencing new cultures.

Perfect travelers!
As usual, I'm so impressed by your research that showed you fabulous spots to visit (views of the Palacio de Bellas Artes from a coffee shop!), down to specific pieces of art and the best tacos and tortas, yet you were also so open to discovering magical new places and treats. A perfect balance! And like you, I adore seeing in museums what I've just explored, though I tend to go first to the museum and then out to the sites--either way, it adds depth to the experience. And I love your adventurous eating--grasshoppers!
