Mexico City, District Federal

“Driving in Mexico City is terrible. It is congested, noisy and complicated. I would rather eat nails.
But it is a beautiful place to enjoy culture and city life. We plan our days around art galleries, exhibitions, festivals and other happening. To just walk around in an adventure. It is a world class city. An Alpha City. A place like no other.”

Dorothy Bell
