San Ángel is a chi-chi neighborhood in Mexico City with a bustling Saturday market. Its cobblestone, leafy streets are a marked contrast to the rest of busy and bustling Mexico City. Last weekend, I headed out with a few friends for some shopping.
Except, I didn’t do any shopping. Instead, I wandered around the quiet neighborhood.
I sat on a bench across from this house and watched a procession of brides take photos at this doorway. I wonder to whom the house belongs, and if s/he knows that it’s a backdrop for so many photos?
I thought this was an apartment or condos, but it really is one house. I may or may not have approached the front door and looked around to confirm.
I really liked the window dressings on this house.
After my companions were finished shopping, we reconvened and headed over to the Church and former Convent of El Carmen. 
The church is in a tranquil square off a busy street. I love how there are pockets of quiet and stillness in this humming metropolis.
Then we walked around the neighborhood some more and saw the international flower fair, a kids’ carnival, and several awesome used bookstores before heading back to the hotel.
All-in-all, a very fun day.
Linking up with Travel Tuesday for today’s post. Have a great week, everyone!
On your pictures Mexico City looks like a charming town. You wouldn’t believe its high crime rate just by looking at them! Do you live there? Is it really that bad?
I have been working in Mexico City for the last two months. I don’t feel unsafe here, not any more than I do in any other big city anywhere in the world I’ve visited. I worry a bit about purse-snatching, but I worry about that anytime I’m a tourist anywhere in the world.
That looks like a gorgeous place to do wedding photos!
I agree! And so do all the brides that posed there.
Well that’s one hell of a gorgeous door! 🙂 Is it weird that it reminds me of Italy and Romeo and Juliet? 🙂
It does have a continental feel to it.
I love these photo’s, wow this place is beautiful! Those bows on the windows are really cool. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures!
Love that building with all the vines on it!
It was so pretty!
Beautiful! I love living vicariously through your travels!
Sounds like a fun day. I totally thought those were condos, too!
nope, just the home of a very wealthy person, I guess!
