Central Park in New York covers about 341 hectares—impressive, right?

But here’s something even more extraordinary: Mexico City’s Bosque de Chapultepec is nearly twice as large, with around 686 hectares of history, culture, and natural beauty.

Chapultepec isn’t just a park—it’s one of the largest urban green spaces in Latin America, home to lakes, museums, monuments, and centuries of heritage. It’s a place where families gather, art lives, and nature thrives in the heart of one of the world’s biggest cities.

So the next time you hear about Central Park, remember that in Mexico we have our very own green giant—an oasis that represents both our past and our future.

Thinking back to Mexico City and walking those warm, dusty streets, dipping into bookstores and diving into the pages of history, climbing the pyramids and staring into the eyes of Frida's artwork. And most of all, the tamales. Oh, to have tamales in Chapultepec Park and then spend the morning reading in the Audiorama...

Hidden away in Chapultepec Park, behind the old cypress tree, there is the Audiorama, a small little place with only trees and greenery around, cozy benches, books to borrow, and silence enforced except for the classical music they play over speakers. I am journaling here and absolutely loving this place.

Mexico City Bookstore Visit #6: Porrúa in Chapultepec. It's about to be ludicrously cold in Chicago, and I have a pile of books and ARCs to read all of which I want to read first, and I have a long essay to revise, and my apartment is a total mess, so my plan for tonight is to go home and drink a lot of wine and pretend I'm still in Mexico where it was 70 degrees, there were trees growing through bookstores, and I could go sit on a bookstore porch beside a lake and write postcards and pretend I had no real obligations.

Extinction

Poachers in Africa covered in blood as they celebrate with the tusks of a dead elephant.

A man and a rhinoceros come close to sharing a kiss under a rainbow umbrella.

A sharks dead, black eyes seem to pierce the soul of the onlooker as the hook in the corner of its mouth starts to rip the animals flesh apart.

A blue whale spins around, dancing with floating humans deep in the bluest oceans, the…

Street Art Collages

In the year 1997 I made my first and only collages from the art of Salvador Dali. The internet was just starting to be something interesting, and in surfing the web I found and printed out my favorite artwork of his, hodgepodged them in a haphazard fashion onto a foam board, and hung them on my meager bedroom walls. I thought I was an artist, and in a way, I was if you look at it as an outlet for…
