Enrique grew up in Mexico City, and his visit churned up nostalgia from past moments lived. Old stomping grounds that seemed to prove some things never change. Yet, familiar routes with unfamiliar facelifts proving that life is ever evolving. Enrique was enchanted with his reacquaintance with an old friend…
As for me, it was my first time visiting the world’s largest city. The heart of Mexico is perched in a broad valley of highlands, amidst a natural fortress of rolling mountains. It’s seemingly eternal spread creeps up smaller peaks, as if threatening to one day claim even the mountaintops as part of its dominion.
Officially, nine million people call El D.F. (Distrito Federal) proper home. But when you consider the entire sprawling urban landscape, Greater Mexico City throbs with more than 21 million people. Plunging yourself into the ever churning chaos, life in Mexican city feels… intense. Exiting and intense.
With little more than a week to visit friends and sightsee, we didn’t have enough time to uncover all of her charm and hidden secrets. But, we did find a few. Please enjoy our visual exploration of El D. F.:
