What a treat to explore the capital city of Mexico. There is such a strong sense of culture here, and it is beautiful to experience it. Part of me battles the feeling that we are wasting a day sightseeing that could be spent serving where we are needed. A big part of me, in fact. But I was encouraged to think of it as an opportunity to embrace all this country has to offer and to receive in addition to giving.
Rapidly, I was enamored with the history of this place. The National Cathedral, the ruins of the Templo Mayor (Great Temple of Tenochtitlan), the Zocalo. Group dynamics can be interesting. I could care less about making it to our restaurant early when there are still museums to be explored and signs to read. Adjustment of expectations.
For dinner we ate at the iconic Cafe Tacuba, a converted convent. Mariachis and mole. I was a happy girl.
