We
knew we would need a lot of time at the Museo De Antropologia in Mexico City since
it has the best collection of pre-hispanic artifacts in the whole country. Five hours in; still not quite enough. We ran out of memory on our camera – even with
a 16g chip. Started deleting some older
photos. Then ran out of battery. Then ran out of steam. OMG!
Here is a small selection of the 300 photos we took.
To
thank Lu Lu and Jose Antonia for their kind hospitality, we had arranged a
booking at one of the best restaurants in Mexico City, Pujol. The chef had come out for the Melbourne food
and wine festival earlier this year and we had fallen in love with the
food. At the time, the chef had remarked
he couldn’t get all his normal ingredients into Australia due to our quarantine
laws, but he hoped it would be good anyway.
It was excellent. When we had
dined on his food in Melbourne, one of our favourite dishes was baby corn in an
ash mayonnaise and we had it again in Mexico City – this time including the ants–
and I have to admit, it was even better. A ten course meal ensued. Wonderful.
