Maggie recently returned from a fab getaway in CDMX. We stayed at Casa Octavia. It was a chique refuge in the beautiful neighbourhood of Condesa.
We mainly went to CDMX to eat. For our first night, after grabbing a bunch of street food in the afternoon, we had dinner at Xel-Ha Bar, a local cantina that specializes in Yucutan cuisine. The lime soup was Maggie's fav.
The next day, we had a huge breakfast at El Cardenal. We started off with hot chocolate and a pastry...
...followed by flautas. Yum!
We checked out two museums during our stay - Museo Jumex and Museo Soumaya. Both are very close to one another and both are excellent. Museo Jumex had a Urs Fischer exhibit. Maggie liked this croissant with a butterfly on it. The croissant reminded Maggie of a crescent moon.
Maggie didn't quite get this rhino but it was big and shiny.
The building of Museo Soumaya was very impressive.
Equally impressive was the art collection, which is the private collection of a wealthy businessman, Carlos Slim. This is a Diego Rivera...
...and this is a Rodin. The museum has the largest collection of Rodin outside of France.
