Roaming Around CDMX | Bacterial infection recovery vlog

Feel free to turn on captions if you can't hear me, the audio didn't come out as consistent :/
Spending my last days in Mexico City roaming around and gallery hopping. I took it easy because I was recovering from a bacterial infection that wiped me out for two plus weeks. My favorite part of this vlog was repairing my pants, so happy to see so many shops in cdmx that repair clothing! Enjoy :)

I hope you are totally over your bacterial infection. Whenever I travel in Mexico I take ginger and activated charcoal with me, just in case. When you say in this video that you imagine someday living in Mexico, well, that is a thought I often have. I just got back from a 10 day trip to Mexico City and I got a feeling similar to one I have gotten when I travel to San Miguel de Allende, namely, that I have lost so much from leaving the country of my birth. Even though I probably would not have achieved the level of professional accomplishment I have achieved in the US (Yale PhD, published author, university professor, etc.), on the cultural and emotional side, I think there is so much I lost in leaving Mexico behind. I sometimes wonder how different I would be as a person if I had stayed in Mexico.

Thank you for the thoughtful message! I get what you mean about the feeling of loss when leaving a place that holds so much meaning. Frequent visits to Mexico definitely help keep me grounded and connected in that sense. Even though I was born in LA I’m going through something similar at the moment and it’s always a balance between appreciating where you’ve come from and where you’ve gone.

Sorry to hear that you got sick, avoid street food as much as possible and take care of yourself.

Hey Devin, nice chill vlog. How is the water situation in Mexico City now? Have been seeing a lot of articles and news videos titled “water crisis,” what your experience like atm?

[@Inmythirties]

Thank you! Some areas get hit more than others. When I was there our water cutoff once for a few hours but we were the only ones out of all our friends. I also have friends outside of the city and they haven’t had any issues. But it is a problem in varying neighborhoods.

where did you get a bacterial infection?

[@Inmythirties]

I was out eating seafood and apparently that’s a big no no during this time of year. A friend told me there’s an unwritten rule for months that don’t have an “r” in them. No seafood, mayo junio julio agosto. 🤷🏻‍♀️
