When we moved here a year and a half ago,  I used to always see the same woman, our neighbor, out walking her two Basenjis (“They’re a wild African breed,” she tells me). Then after awhile I would hear her call their names from a distance as she waddled behind them with her pregnant belly. Then for months I only saw her husband in the park. And today I saw her walking her dogs again, this time with a baby carriage. It’s so nice to watch the neighborhood grow.

I have been living in and writing about Mexico for 15 years and Mexico City for almost 10 of those. My writing focuses on food, history, local culture, and all the amazing stories that this place has to tell. I also give food and history tours in the city and am the author of the book "Mexico City Streets: La Roma" about Colonia Roma, the neighborhood where I live.
