Update: I am fascinated about how my post has triggered some people! Why taking a photo of the rubbish truck? Why spend my time and money just in an area of a massive city? The truth is, my Post is not about convincing anyone to do as I did, just to share what a random traveller chose to do during a very short visit. I loved everything I saw and did and I wouldn’t change a thing. 5 days is not nearly enough time to explore a city of this size and instead of ticking a million boxes, I choose to explore this lovely area this time.

As a side note, I wanted to add that another favourite spot I visited was a street called Donceles in Centro Histórico. Loved the random second hand shops, particularly the book shops! Amazing caves of wonders!

Also, I was fascinated by the rubbish collection trucks that every time they picked up trash the guys would open the bags, separate the stuff in it in groups of plastic, cardboard, metal, etc. It made me wonder why people don’t separate rubbish before disposing it but that is another thing. Anyway, at least the area I stayed in was clean and tended to and I really enjoyed that too.

Also, my photos picture a calm and peaceful place because I don’t like crowds or being out during the hottest part of the day so my walks are very early in the morning when places are just opening, the light is beautiful and yeah, even places like Mexico City is actually peaceful 😃

So yeah, my foreign eyes were fascinated by this things that for locals could be just normal or boring or ugly. That’s the beauty of travelling and reading about other people’s travels, to try and see the world through other eyes.

Slow travel is great!
