We love Mexico City. I have had numerous consulting engagements there and ShawWife and I have traveled there for fun and sometimes a mixture of both. I was working for over a week for a client and staying at the Four Seasons – which is nice as Four Seasons go – which was a lovely oasis in the city. Took up a whole city block with a lovely courtyard in the middle… (Probably quite expensive but I wasn’t footing the bill). Lovely respite in a go-go city. I also stayed at the Hilton Reforma, which was very nice – they gave me this huge penthouse suite with an amazing view.
Things we loved. Museo Dolores Olmedo (the largest collection of Diego Rivera’s and I think Frida Kahlo’s in the world). The restaurant Quilon. Outstanding. We think the architect Luis Barragan is brilliant. Many years ago, we got a tour from their office of some of his buildings (he was alive). On the Four Seasons trip, ShawWife hired a guide for some of the days I was working. One day he took her through private homes designed by Barragan. Not sure how he even got permission, but he clearly had it. One was, IIRC, the home Barragan designed for himself. The murals (Rivera, Orozco, Siqueiros, et al.) plus the museums.
