Mexico City (Five): a smattering

We loved Mexico City so much that I could write a never-ending series of blogs about it.  But I'll stop.  I have to move onto to other things, other cities, other countries.

But first ... here's a smattering of the rest of March in Mexico City:

We visited Teotihucan:

Perfect day at Teotihuacan!

We toured Templo Mayor:

Of course we ate and drank our way around La Roma, our delightful little part of the city.

Limantour, #11 of the 50 Best Bars in the World

And for our final breakfast, we found the tallest restaurant so we could see the city from above.

Brunch at Miralto
If I could go back tomorrow, I would.  We both would.  It was a perfectly wonderful place for a honeymoon for two foodies who love walking, exploring, and enjoying the local culture.
