My family and I have been in Coyoacan for one Week today! It's still pretty hard to get around and we are having a hard time understanding everyone around us. We have been walking 45 minutes each way to our daily Spanish classes, then up to our apartment on the 4th floor (whew!). Not surprisingly we are pretty tired by the time we get home and have not explored around our hood too much. So today we ventured out of our bubble a little and took the trolley back home. It was nice not to have to walk for a change.
Even on trolleys Mexico Ari is "super."
Later we refilled our water bottle and walked through our hood a little. Found a very popular vegetarian restaurant and... what... a language school??! We could have been walking a mere 2 blocks to learn Spanish and not several miles? Well, where is the adventure in that?!
We also found a nice organic market and bought some beautiful eggs, organic veggies, organic milk, and strawberry jam. We still needed to go the the "Mega" for some other things, like tortillas de nopales (hey, worth a try!) I think the kids just like to go to the Mega just because of the escalator?
Also found another blog with some worthwhile info about living in Mexico City....

That stupid website is such a ridiculous time suck. I mean, seriously, like I have time to sit around and read and read and read all those posts and then hit the "older posts" tab and read some more.
I'm sorry you missed the burro festival.
Yay! Good to see those gorgeous girls smiling! :)
