we had all of Ciudad de Mexico before us. The legendary choking, sooty, near-opaque pollution really wasn't too much in evidence. Just a little brown haze off at the far horizon, that's all. You know, I never would have thought of Mexico City on my own. But when wknd plans for Buenos Aires deteriorated due to toooo-heavy flightloads, the man suggested this town and I said You Got It. ;-)))
where we found actual calm and peace in the churches and museum and restaurants, or around the very next corner, the chaos and sardine-can pressure of this most populated city on the planet.
Moonrises, moonsets, they're all cool. And when you think that this is the exact same moon which you watch in your hometown night sky, that your friend 10,000 miles away watches, that the Aztecs and Thomas Jefferson and William Shakespeare and the Cavemen all watched as well, it tends to get you all deep and philosophical. It should, anyway.
- Pros:close to home, for us, yet an entire world away!
- Cons:so busy, so frenetic, hmmm those can be pro's too!
- In a nutshell:an underrated gem, discover it for a wknd and you'll be back!

Hi Cristina. Had a lot of fun reading about your trip to Mexico City. Thanks for sharing your stories and photos :-) Greetings from the desert / Jess in Dubai
Hi, how are you? curious as to what part of Virginia you are from.
The cactus sculptures in Reforma Blvd were a temporal exhibition. They're now gone.
Loooooooooooooong time ago I did all these places, thankyou for waking my memories, now I have to wait to get back To my stored stuff in Africa to get the pics out, I have a few here but they don't tell the story...
Beyond pink steak, what's wrong with that? And only 3.5 hours, are you sure? Nice job here... !
"El Angel" the statue is a must see here. Good tips. -- Greg
