Mexico City: Episode 2

I have already experienced so much food here in Mexico City- funny that it seems so much more than in Playa. 

One of the taco stands by the street-

Limes are a staple in Mexico.

Abel and I have eaten at the local market a few times.  It is about a 20 minute walk from the apartment and has whatever you could need.  We bought a liter of fresh-squeezed orange juice for 10 pesos!  I have never had orange juice so fresh... they don't make it until you order it, and it is practically squeezed straight into your cup- Delicious!  We've eaten tacos off plates covered in plastic (cuts down on the cleaning and less waste than a paper plate), had piles of cut fruit covered in honey and muesli, quesadillas shaped like hot dog buns and even sampled some sesos... brains.  Abel's shady description of these particular fried quesadillas reminded me of the first time I tried rattle snake... my father tried to pass it off as fish.  Well... I guess I still prefer brains to pig skin.  It really wasn't so bad- salty, yes- it was just the thought that discouraged swallowing the stuff.
