Holiday Escape to Mexico City

Having been there many times, I can definitely say Mexico City is a an exciting place to be with lots to do. As it happened, both Barbara Warren and I were there at the same time during the Holidays. Barb had heard from a friend that a definite “must see” while in Mexico City, is a visit to the house of architect Luis Barragan. He has other sites in Mexico City, but his house is the place to start. We found when we looked it up in the travel guide his house became a UNESCO world heritage site in 2004. When I went to visit the house, I ran into Barb visiting at the same time- a totally unexpected meeting! The house is amazing, with airy spaces, beautiful views, and very pink walls. I always find visual inspiration in Mexico, from modernist architecture to the sights and sounds of the zocalos (town squares). But don’t forget to bring your cashmere if you go, it can get cool in the evenings!
