Found Across the Globe: Mexico City

Call me bias, but I have a special place in my heart for Mexico City. I have recently come back from my fifth time in the city, only to find that I like it a little more each time. Not only is Mexico City the second largest metropolitan area in the world, but in my opinion also one of the most underrated cities. Even from 10,000 feet above the ground in an airplane, the recognizable rainbow palette of the city comes into view. A visitor can find themselves in the slums to passing gated neighborhoods and back to the slums again within a blocks of each other. Tacos stands are erected between buildings, fruit vendors sell fresh mango and papaya in between lanes on the bustling roads, and the 8.6 million plus inhabitants move around the city with an energy that could easy challenge New York City. ••••
