Photo of the Day #13: Shalom

While I generally believe that most of you regularly tune in for the sole purpose of seeing super cute photos of yours truly, I will from time to time post something that illuminates certain aspects of our life abroad. Just think of them as super interesting commercials during regular scheduled programming.

Mexico City is home to an estimated 37,500 Jewish people (about 93% of the Jewish population in all of Mexico) and a good majority of them live in Polanco, our neighborhood. There are many kosher stores and restaurants within walking distance of our apartment and no fewer than 11 synagogues within a 10 minute walk of our apartment, one of the most Orthodox being just a block away. Every Saturday, you can see groups of Jewish people walking down the promenade on Avenida Horacio to Bet El, one of the largest synagogues in the city. Mama captured this picture on a recent Saturday outing with Joaquin.
