Whenever we come to Mexico City one of our favorite places to go is Coyoacán, a quaint little town; a cobblestone oasis in the middle of the big city. What do we do when we come? Walk around, visit bookstores, coffee shops, buy balloons, eat icecream, sit by the fountain and watch while our kids run around it (that, for some reason, never seems to get old) and indulge a bit in the sin of shopping. Not so sinful when you buy from local artisans, I tell myself.
Cuando venimos a la Ciudad de México, uno de nuestro lugares favoritos para visitar es Coyoacán, un encantador pueblito; un oasis empedrado en medio de la inmensa ciudad. ¿Qué hacemos cuando venimos? Caminamos, visitamos librerías, cafecitos, compramos globos, comemos helado, nos sentamos junto a la fuente y miramos mientras nuestros hijos corren alrededor (esto, por alguna razón, puede ser una tarea incansable) y nos entregamos un poco al pecaminoso placer de la compra. Placer no tan pecaminoso cuando compramos de artesanos locales, quiero pensar.
Claudia, Thank you for sharing all these wonderful pictures. It's my dream to someday visit the Frida museum, but until then I thank you for giving me a peek.
