On Friday, I spent the day with my Swiss visitors, Christoph and Sabrina. They are vegans, so I thought that they would have a difficult time in carnivorous Mexico to find places to eat. Surprisingly, Sabrina found a number of vegan restaurants online. So we headed by Metrobus to the Condesa neighborhood for breakfast at a place called "Mora Mora".
Both Christoph and I ordered vegan chilaquiles. They were not like traditional chilaquiles, but I must say they were quite tasty. And the salsa that they used was excellent.
We then walked through the leafy Condesa neighborhood, including the lovely "Parque México". We got back on the Metrobus to go to our destination for the day... the National Museum of Anthropology.
We arrived just in time to see the "Voladores" (Flyers) performing a ceremony which dates back to pre-Hispanic times.
As I had written in an earlier post, I had prepared a highlights tour of the enormous museum that I hoped would take about two hours. They both seemed to enjoy their tour and were impressed with the museum.
The famous Aztec Sun Stone, perhaps the most famous piece in the museum.
Our tour ended up lasting more than two hours, and by the time we were done our jet-lagged travelers were growing weary. I didn't get a lot of sleep the night before, so I also was also tired. We agreed to return to the apartment rather than seeing the special exhibit at the nearby Museum of Modern Art.
After resting awhile, Sabrina found a "taquería" nearby that had a number of vegan taco options. So they were able to stick to their vegan diet, while I had regular tacos with meat.
It was a great but tiring day!
