I love Mexico City; there’s an organic energy here that’s lacking in other big cities. I suspect it’s 50% the street art on every exposed surface and 50% the lack of zoning laws which allows every sidewalk square to have its own street vendor. The result is a city that really feels full of life. A lot of the big tourist destinations are closed on Mondays, so I spent the day on a meandering path from the bus station to my hotel, taking excursions to any point on the map which looked interesting.
The Sonora Market was described online as a witchcraft market, but there’s actually so much more. They also sell live animals (chickens, goats, puppies, turtles, etc), hand-painted bowls, and nativity figures. The exterior of the Toy Museum, a four-story building which bills itself as the largest collection of toys in the world. Inside, the building has the same chaotic energy as St. Louis’ City MuseumKids love her!From the roof of the toy museumFound on a mechanic’s shopI visited another museum about some writer I had never heard of. The exhibit was unremarkable, but there was a great rooftop cafe and bookstore, so I hung out here for a while and read/wrote some poems. Not a lot of people know this, but you’re actually supposed to cut a hole in the condom so that your dick can see where it’s going
