Good morning!
We’ve got our daily green juice and we’re going to go to the Saturday market.
It’s supposed to be really great with lots of handicrafts and artists and food.
So we’re on our way there but first we have to fill up our metro cards in order to take the
subway so we’re going to do that now.
It’s quite comfy.
We just came from El Bazar del Sabado and it had lots of amazing artists and in the
courtyard there was a restaurant with a group of musicians that was playing and I didn’t
find anything inside to buy but outside there were also a ton of artists on the street and
these women are embroidering textiles…
He’s selling bells.
They’re embroidering textiles and I saw this one - it was all grey - and it had bunnies,
like, two rabbits on it and something about it I just fell in love with but when we went
back I couldn’t find it and I asked, like, every artist in the row if they had that in
my very broken Spanish and they all said no and then at the very end this woman had exactly
what I’d seen before and she was paying for it, folding it up, and putting it in her
bag and I went ‘oh my God.’
So I decided to go up to her and in extremely broken Spanish just say, like, excuse me and
try to explain what had happened and she was SO nice about it.
She said she was buying it for her friend in Holland and…but she was going to give
it to me and let me buy it and I just…I can’t believe it and I love it so much.
I can’t believe she did that.
She didn’t have to. It was so nice
and now I have, like, the best souvenir ever.
So for lunch we got quesadillas and these are made with pumpkin and they’re 15 pesos.
We decided to go for a second course. We got another quesadilla.
This one is with potato and chorizo - looks so good - and then we also got freshly squeeged
orange juice….squeeged?
Freshly squeezed orange juice for 25 pesos.
We’re just walking through a park on the way back from lunch and I just have to say,
like, Mexico City knows how to do a park.
There are these incredible parks all over with huge trees, amazing gardens, they’re well kept.
We just passed ten people sweeping.
The grass looks beautiful and there’s huge fountains everywhere.
It’s the perfect place to just sit down and have your lunch or read a book.
Love the parks here.
We’re just walking trying to find the subway and we came across this cute little area with
these teeny tiny little streets that live in.
Look at this - love the bougainvillea.
Behind me is a section that says ‘only for women and minors under twelve’ for safety
and I’ve never seen that really anywhere.
I think it’s an awesome idea.
So we’re back in Roma Norte.
We just stopped quickly at our AirBNB to grab our laptops and we’re headed to a place
now where we can get some work done and then grab some dinner probably later.
That bookstore was so busy.
We sat and worked for, I don’t know, hours and now we’re going to go grab some tacos
and hopefully go see a movie.
It starts in fifteen minutes so it’s kind of a race against the clock but we have to
have tacos first because we’re starving.
So wish us luck.
Got our tacos.
Five tacos for thirty pesos.
That is less than two American dollars which is an insanely good deal.
Now I think we’re going to make the movie.
We have, like, four minutes and we’re right across from the theatre so we’re going to
go see Beauty and the Beast and I’ll see you in my next video! Bye!
