We were fortunate to be able to visit 2 major religious sites in Old Jerusalem: The Western Wall and the Holy Sepulchre.

What Old Jerusalem Feels Like
Old Jerusalem is an ancient, fragrant, complex, dusty, emotionally-, politically-, and religiously-charged space.
Templo Mayor
In the heart of Historic Mexico City, on Zocalo Square and partially buried under the Cathedral of Mexico City, is an ancient Aztec temple, archaeological site, and museum.
Mexico City Walking Tour
Our Airbnb host helped us plan an amazing walking tour of the heart of Mexico City.
Teotihuacan
Josh thinks visiting Teotihuacan was cooler than visiting the Pyramids of Giza. I’m on the fence.
Fantastic Food. (#priorities).
We would take a trip back to Mexico City for the food alone.
How Mexico City Defied Our Expectations
Mexico City has a reputation for being dirty, poor, crowded, uncultured, and unsafe. Don’t believe the hype.
Evidence of the 2017 Earthquake
We visited CDMX a few short months after a 7.1 earthquake that rocked the city and killed hundreds. Amazingly, there was very little evidence of the quake by the time we got there. Here and there, however, there were little hints, like this one.
A Trip to the Museum of Anthropology
We have been to museums on 5 continents and all across the United States and The Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City is among our most favorite.
Trip Highlight: The Bogota Graffiti Tour
Growing up, we were taught that graffiti is bad. The Bogota Graffiti Tour turned that worldview upside down.
