Mexico City, Oaxaca, and San Miguel

Mexico

Blanche has complicated feelings about Mexico that are entirely positive and unexpected, finds Mexico City one of the great cities, and is moved by the Frida Kahlo house in a way that fills three episodes. Hazel finds the food among the most technically sophisticated she has met anywhere and delivers the verdict with conviction, and she evaluates mezcal on production quality with focused attention.
