merfish and mexico .. um yes please


we just booked a quick weekend get away to mexico and i am pretty pumped (despite all of the nasty things i can't help but hear). anyway we are going to a vampire weekend show and staying at the cutest b&b that has a breakfast chef who trained with alice waters at chez panisse (um hello fabulous?!?). we are also taking a couple of days to visit mexico city. have you been there? neither of us have but it is on our list of cities to visit so we figured since we are going to be down there ...

{the picture above made me think of our upcoming trip, despite the fact that there will be zero beach time, and then made me want some merfish of my own ... or at least a picture of such creatures. available here}

  3. You have to go see Frida Kahlo's house! Just outside of Mexico City, I think? I was 14 and incredibly jaded when I went, but even then I appreciated it.

  4. i went to mexico city a year ago for new years eve and had the best time. I recommend checking out the Condesa and Roma neighborhoods, they have cute little cafes and shops and feels very bohemian and lovely. Also, if you can get out to the canals just outside the city, its almost like venice, italy, and the home of Freida and Diego has beautiful gardens and great art!
