Traveling Light: Packing List for Three Days in Mexico City

A graphic that reads "Mexico City Packing List"

My colleagues were confused when I lamented about packing for Mexico City. “Why?” they asked. “Don’t you just pack shorts, tanks, and sandals?” All of Mexico is not hot, with sunny beaches.
