We are staying in Condesa, a really lovely suburb of Mexico City. Lots of really nice cafe and restaurants. Compared to Mexican standards, it's pretty expensive. The tree lined streets are really well maintained and it just feels very relaxing.
I had a lovely breakfast at a restaurant nearby called Lardo. It was full of people with American accents.

In the morning A and I decided to go to El Bazar Sabado, which mean Saturday bazar. It's an artisanal market with stalls selling all kinds of handicrafts. The complex (both indoor and out) was packed with stalls selling all sorts of items from clothing, purses, art, trinkets, food, etc... it was all rather over whelming but oh so pretty. We both spent far longer than we had expected at the market and spent waaay too much

With our rather large haul we ended up getting an uber back to our accommodation to dump our goods. Uber in this city is crazy cheap. Literally a few pesos. I just cant believe how cheap it is!
After we ubered it again (just cant begin the describe how cheap it is) to Historico Centro and walked around and eating more food. I inadvertently managed to buy 3 hotdogs without knowing. But they were not too bad.
We finished up in a square called Plaza Garibaldi as that is where lots of mariachi bands hang around. It's a buzzing plaza with local food markets, souvenir tours, mariachi bands all over the place. It is very busy and in my opinion quite full on. We kept getting hassled by people to eat at their restaurant or go to some mariachi show. In the end we had had enough and ubered it back home.
