Still happily glowing from The Mexico City Experience

November 12, 2019

We just concluded our Mexico City Experience Sunday. OMG, what a wonderful and mind-blowing week it was!

Every Experience is different, and this one was unlike any past Mexico City Experience and also unlike any future one.

We began during Día de Muertos and celebrated along with the rest of Mexico City with traditional face painting, ofrenda, Mexican delicacies made on a comal over a wood fire, Mexican chocolate from cacao bean to cup. We enjoyed authentic Mexican fun at our friend’s beautiful house in the San Angel neighborhood of Mexico City. So much fun!

Mexico City astonishes at every turn. The exquisite food, exotic drinks (tomato pulque was just one of many rare beverages that delighted our palates) and incredible tastings of wine from all the wine-making regions of Mexico. Of course, we dove deep during exquisite mezcal and tequila tastings. We got to enjoy some very special bottles not available to the public, which another friend generously made possible.

The funnest part is that we surprise our Gastronomads at every turn. They never know what we're going to do until we're doing it.

It was an extraordinary week filled with profound joy and continuous laughter that nourish my soul and fills my heart with enormous gratitude.

Our local Mexican friends and visionary food artisans are remarkable and inspiring people whom Mike and I love. We are grateful for their passion and friendship. We’re very lucky to have them in our lives.

My favorite quotes of the week from our new friends: “It was beyond expectation,” “life-changing,” and “I will be looking into next year when I get home so you shall hear from me soon.” Music to my ears!

We'll be staying in Mexico City, with a brief trip to Guadalajara, and we'll head back to California for awhile to visit family. Then it's back to Mexico City for the unique December Mexico City Experience. (We still have one room left and, if I'm honest, you'd be nuts to miss it!) -Amira
