Leaving to Mexico tomorrow! If you have off the beaten track suggestions around Sayulita, Guadalajara or MX city, let me know! Got a rough plan and some ideas, but I like to leave it open to play it by ear a little. My partner wants to spend the first few day at the beach, so I might take a one day class and try out scuba diving for the first time to keep occupied! It will be a good time to reflect on my work situation, I'm quite torn about it at the moment. It's been an emotional roller coaster since I've started and it's hard to get the perspective on wether it's the work, the environment, my personal mindset at the moment or my incompatibility with work in general. Time away might help me see it clearer. I feel I've only been sticking it out lately because I don't want to let down the project and my colleagues and because I don't have a more appealing alternative. But then the funk has been omnipresent. Not feeling the vibe with friends either. It's easy to blame it on the fact that i'm unhappy at work and it's permeating everything - but it could also be a wider feeling shitty thing that won't be solved by switching occupation. Damn i need some perspective right now... One good thing has been my newest fling with a super caring chill dude. Where things are simple and we're just having good times together without any complicated bullshit. It's a breath of fresh air and a welcome distraction from everything else.
In CDMX check out the cafe/bookstore Cafebrería El Péndulo, the location in the fancy Polanco neighborhood is amazing. I am not big on shows but the Ballet Folklórico de México was great, and a good reason to see inside the Palacio de Bellas Artes. Picking up tickets in advance from TicketMaster was an adventure, it’s probably easier today. Teotihuacán is a long drive north to climb the pyramids, something it might not be possible to do in the future. It is impressive to go 50 km from the city center without leaving the urban environment. Be sure to take the toll road to save time. We were told Uber would only take us one way so we arranged a driver with the hotel. Restaurants are great, but it’s a huge city with many nice districts scattered around, so get a ride to the destination and then explore on foot. The Frida Khalo museum was interesting but crowded. 
Gracias! Is ahijic the place to go when visiting Chapala lake? I had the lake on my places to visit list, but it’s huge with many towns around. Also planning a day trip to tequila like any good tourist too. We’ll be there almost a week so looking for many activities :)
We had to detour to Ajijic when our accommodations in Guadalajara didn't work out the day we arrived. It seemed like an ex-pat retirement community. Quiet and friendly with nice views from the hills. It got so dark at night I thought maybe I saw Andromeda. Any chance of a #tripreport?
