As usual, it was difficult to create a top five list of an entire year’s worth of eating. There could easily be numerous top five lists; after all, the periscope is always up in the search for the most clickbait-friendly of titles. But that’s tiresome. Instead, I will present you with a single list of […]
Mexico
The First Food Tour of Mexico City
As winter slowly encroaches upon much of the U.S., let’s warm up a little by taking a Mexico City food tour. We’ll start with two examples of comida callejera, or street food. Green chorizo, what?! Nope, it’s not from using avocados. Hailing from the city of Toluca in the state of Mexico (the latter of […]
Mexicana 2: Electric Boogalu
Speaking of phoenixes, it appears that Mexicana will be taking to the skies by Q4 of this year. Good thing I didn’t include them in this post.

More specifically, SkyWest Airlines […]
Language Lunes: Mexican Aviation (and a Hint of Railroads)
The current Mexican administration has seen quite a bit of turbulence (terrible pun intended) in the aviation industry. No matter which side you’re on, these events have already happened: A “national referendum” on a new Mexico City Airport. The project that was cancelled after nearly 70% was completed, the Texcoco Airport, was replaced by the […]
Language Lunes: Geographically Humble Spanish Lessons
A few years ago, I took a brilliant Mexico road trip, starting and ending in the city of Orizaba: My friend and I had to backtrack from San Cris to Tuxtla Gutierrez to get to Palenque, but other than that, this was basically the correct route. Along the road trip, I noticed some amusingly “humble” […]
