Sunday, December 29, 2024 - Breakfast & area near the Frida Kahlo museum (Del Carmen neighborhood, north end of the Coyoacan area)

Walked over to a breakfast place called Vips.
Only a 5 minute walk from the hotel.
Saw it the day before while walking to dinner.

A big place.  Pretty nicely decorated and clean.
Lots of people working at the restaurant.
Service was good.

The food was pretty good.
Kinda equivalent to some of the breakfast places in the US.
The food is different but good.

After breakfast, went to a nearby supermarket to get some water.
The market was very large and clean.
Saw there humongous papayas.
30 pesos is a little less than $2.

Took an Uber to the neighborhood where the Frida Kahlo museum is.
The museum was sold out (we knew before we went).
The neighborhood is supposed to be interesting for walking around.
We walked around the neighborhood.
The buildings are old and very eclectic.

A lot of the building and street signs appear to be porcelain on steel (old way of making durable signs).

Nice looking church.

The people standing in the entrance invited us in.
There was a service going on.
We didn't go in.

Walked by this nice gate in the neighborhood.
