Travel: Museo de Arte Moderno
Museo de Arte Moderno – the Mexico City Museum of Modern Art! It’s worth the visit, from outdoor sculptures to colourful paintings, this place is awakening! We spent a couple hours in the morning checking out the pieces and enjoyed the cool walk around the grounds. Check it out if you have time. Museo de Arte Moderno There is a cost to enter – roughly 5$ Canadian, and well worth it. Oh, and the museum is free on Sundays! We couldn’t visit on the Sunday…

Travel: Museo Jumex
Museo Jumex is a free (yes, free!) museum in Mexico City. It’s beautiful, full of open spaces, and worth visiting if you’re a lover of lines, art, and architecture. We spent about 60 minutes in the museum, the exhibits are huge and my favourite part was the outdoor balconies. Okay, let’s check out some photos! First, I want to share this staircase. There are elevators, and do suggest you take one, they’re massive. I think they only have one set of elevators and they use…

Travel: Palacio De Bellas Artes
Palacio De Bellas Artes is an iconic building and museum in the heart of Mexico City. Enjoy the large parks, the paintings, and the people watching – be sure to check it out if you’re ever in CDMX. We stopped by on a Monday, and then again on a Wednesday and both times it was closed. Luckily for us, we saw all the paintings on the Thursday. Plus, it’s only a 20 minute walk from the Hotel Emporio and the stroll through the park is…

Travel: Anthropology National Museum

Travel: Durham Museum
Durham Museum – it’s an old train station, one utilized by Union Pacific Railway, that’s been turned into a museum. It’s a must see if you’re in Omaha. The historical architecture is beautiful. Okay, let’s check out some photos. Durham Museum Nothing better than snagging a quick pic of the entry and having my amazing husband strike a pose. I love this guy! Side note here, one mistake we made while travelling around Omaha was not bringing my backpack. When we visited the Old Market…

Travel: Kenefick Park
Kenefick Park is home to the greatest locomotives to power the Union Pacific Railroad, and it’s right beside the Lauritzen Gardens and the Marjorie K Daugherty Conservatory. These trains are massive, let’s climb the stairs and check these beasts out. We almost didn’t visit the park, the stairs (there’s a lot of them) looked daunting after a long morning in the sun and I’ll admit, we were hungry. Knowing we probably wouldn’t be visiting Omaha again, we hustled up the stairs and were pleasantly surprised.…

Travel: Musée du Louvre
The Musée du Louvre is a great place to spend the afternoon. Just don’t forget to prebook your time slot on their website after you get your advanced tickets. Otherwise, you’ll be out of luck if you want to visit. Musée du Louvre First, be sure you see the Mona Lisa – and plan for at least an hour start to finish on that experience. We did it first and then enjoyed the rest of our visit. It’s important if you’re on a tight timeline…
