    Mazunte

    March 3 in Mexico ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

    Time to chill! All we have done since landing in Mazunte is eat drink swim and look at the sun. Our place is so lovely run by Nedda and her parents are staying here as well which is cute. Just a 7 min walk down to two different beaches and the cocktails get delivered down to your sun lounger! We’ve been badly burnt and bitten by mozzys but omg it’s so worth it. Eaten the maddest fish tacos, smoked tuna/shrimp tostadas, cerviches, BBQ chicken and bakery delights! Loud colourful birds and huge hornets. Family run tiny tucked-away restaurants and late night food markets. I think the food here has been the best just due to the beautiful fresh seafood. There was a live jam session and there have been so many puppy’s around! Saw the clearest sunset ever last night and woke up for the clearest sunrise swim at 6am. The water is so warm! It’s a proper hippy town so we have slowed right down. I <3 Mazunte xRead more

    Always painting on her body casts after surgeriesFrida and Diego's marriage and divorce dates

    Last day in the city - Frida

    March 3 ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Bus down to Coyoacán, to see the huge tree park(where every tree is different!) and plant nurseries of flowers I have never seen before. As Frida Kahlo’s home town, I luckily got a last min expensive ticket for myself to go in and see her family home that she lived in her entire short life and shared with Diego Rivera her passionate tumultuous lifetime partner (cheated on her with her own sister) who is also a painter but fuck him. An icon she was - who went through so much pain. A tram accident gave her a life full of surgeries. Being bed bound and imprisoned she painted her way out of her own reality. It was amazing to see the life around her through her belongings and living spaces, with her studio preserved you can see where should sit and create in her wheelchair. Her beautiful traditional dresses, headwear and jewellery from Oaxaca, preserved her mother’s culture, even though it was not the popular fashion of the time. So politically engaged in the revolution, she even had an affair with Trotsky lol. Did I say she was openly bisexual in the 1940s too? Love her so much.

    Evening flight to Mazunte - our beach home for the next week!    Read more

    Pyramids and last supper

    March 2 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Fruit and shared an uber with a couple from the hostel Jule and Andrea (German girl and Italian boy based in the Netherlands) for a day together seeing the Teotihuacan pyramids! Following a volcano eruption that destroyed a city nearby, the pyramids were built from this volcanic rock in about 200AC. Wow. So beautiful and massive. You could even climb up them. Almost 2000 years old…. And had been entirely buried for hundreds of years, only in the early 20th century did they get uncovered, excavated and restored. Headed back for local tacos, hostel chill, dinner at a seafood joint the most amazing tuna ceviche tostada ever omg, but all the other bits a bit mid, cheesy potatoes and shrimp taco. Early night! Beach tomo!Read more

    Fooooood & driiiinks Sunday

    March 1 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    After a very slow start, lemon meringue pie and finally I have begun my coffee journey! (Famously only a tea drinker). We headed into our local food market and found Las Tablas Roma. We sat around the open kitchen, with the market bustling and moving around us. I ordered the grilled salmon with house abodo sauce, directly after ordering the waitress shouted over to the fishmonger to grab the fillet! Even the side salad had been made with the freshest veg clearly from the market stalls around us. It was hands down the best food I have eaten in Mexico city so far and the staff were so friendly cracking jokes with us. Chill then to head out for a rooftop cocktail, as I wanted to get high and see the size of the city! So massive!! Best drinks we’ve had too, tanquerey, rosé, fig and tonic, Luke’s Don Julio, hibiscus, grapfuit w some sort of olive oil on the rosemary. Sooooo nice, bit spenny but worth it! Walking to get some food w Christian (40 y/o interesting Chilean nomad surfer dude) we saw the live Shakira concert on telly and got given a magic trick by a guy in the street. Perfect Sunday xxRead more

    Big day

    February 27 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    Fruity brekky for a day of museums. Stopped at cool record shop on way. Started w Museo de Arte Moderno, a beautiful building w these light dome roofs filled with Mexican painters and sculptures from 20th - 21st century. Saw original Fridas!! And lots of Diego Rivera. They also had small wooden spheres containing a smell to capture the scene of some of the paintings, pretty cool! Then moved to the Museo de Anthropologia, another beautiful building, absolutely massive! Learnt all about the movings of different sapiens into the Mexicas and Americas and how they evolved through time creating differing cultures. Cool figurines and scenes made to explain the different eras throughout. A whole floor exploring the development of tools and housing to different spiritual and creative artefacts of masks and objects of textile beauty. WOW. Then we met our friends Rob and Elspeth! Went for boujie cocktails at a listening bar and then for tacos and soppe de torta dinner. Knackered! What a day. What a city!Read more
