Trying out something new: updating the Big Map in real time, as we’re traveling . . .
Landed on Monday, August 2 and settled into the AirBnB on the edge of Juárez. Woke up to enjoy the ballet below, and it’s been a while since my arm hurt this much from playing Punchbuggy:
First full day was mostly spent getting food and essentials, though we did pass through Plaza Giordano Bruno on the way to the supermarket:
Second full day we took a break to explore Centro Histórico, first stop being the massive Zócalo plaza in the center of the old city, which I thought I saw was the largest such plaza in Latin America:
From there, sweets at Dulcería de Celaya and churros at El Moro:
Read there was a nice playground in Parque Lincoln in the swanky Polanco neighborhood, so there. Beautiful spot:
