My first gut reaction on the plane, the belt buckle still clipped, gazing down at the sea of red tiled roofs: “Shit, it’s huge.” The metropolitan area holds 22 millions people— comparable to New York’s in population and size, though slightly denser— but its defined mountainous surroundings only seem to highlight the city’s vastness and the relatively low amount of high-rises, its very chaotic and expansive nature.

And so, after a sleepless night in transit, we landed in Mexico City.

Not unlike being in the belly of the beast, only a very welcoming and charming one. Not so rough up to now.

In town for 10 days, I am ready for some serious taco eating.

And street photography.

Stay tuned.
