If she's the Gaby I'm thinking of, think she helped me a few years back, in getting my purchases back to Atlanta...We met her thru the folks at our B&B, Casa Luna..a wonderful place to stay, and San Miguel is a super destination in Mexico...please keep it quiet, tho...already too many "ugly americans".

I have visited Mexico D.F. many times, as well as many other parts of Mexico, altho I will admit, not near the border. I always felt very safe there...much more than in downtown Atlanta, my home town. Use your head, just as when visiting anywhere. Same advice goes...don't flaunt money, don't catch a yellow cab immediately after withdrawing money from ATM, don't wear all your diamonds..common sense. Mexico is a wonderful destination, so underated by Americans...but that's good for those of us who love it.

It is a beautiful, green, vibrant city that holds basically all the cultural wealth of the country.

Granted I was with my Mexican friend from college who knew her way around but I think it holds true for any big city: know the places to go and the places NOT to go. I definitely recommend it!! Try the silver market and the Anthropology Museum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-3162368872107308342011-10-04T07:20:53.231-05:002011-10-04T07:20:53.231-05:00Amazing!

Next week I have a bussiness trip to D.F. so I'll go for a wonderfull dinner there, thank you for sharing.<br /><br />I go to Mexico City quite often. Last week I was there by myself. I stayed at a hotel right in front of The "Monumento a la Revolución" in Reforma. Walk around by myself all the time and felt very safe. As the other girl living in Spain said, you just have to now where to move around.<br /><br />Good luck!<br />Gaby from San Miguel de AllendeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-79720819716020817722011-10-03T16:30:55.284-05:002011-10-03T16:30:55.284-05:00Hi Paloma,

The design scene and art scene there is amazing.<br />There is so much architectural talent there, it just amazes me.<br />We feel very safe there and take our entire family each time we go. Of course, this is not a border town.<br />If you want to see our renovation, here it is: http://myhousemygarden.blogspot.com/2011/01/casa-cielo-after-renovation.html. <br />Although we go there quite often, we also rent it out as a vacation rental. We have it booked the rest of the year, so I guess people still feel safe here. Thank God!<br />Vikki :)My House, My Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164514718096399443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-20978043602886987242011-10-03T16:13:33.411-05:002011-10-03T16:13:33.411-05:00gorgeous interiors! my friends have been going rec...gorgeous interiors! my friends have been going recently and they have loved it!

I'm from Mexico City and I was there the past 2 months.<br /><br />As you said, it's more dangerous visiting Monterrey than the City Center. <br /><br />Mexico City is more than violence (as you said) and if you go to te right places, at the right time with people, is safe. <br /><br />Yes, with more or less precautions but as anywhere else.<br /><br />Me, have been robbed twice in Barcelona and no one in Mexico.<br /><br />Dare to go, you will be suprised!<br /><br /><br />Carlacacaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07400048578622553787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-57679391195113607532011-10-03T12:04:33.231-05:002011-10-03T12:04:33.231-05:00Wow, I love the details of this restaurant!!
