In September, I took my first visit to Mexico City and wow! The museums, the food, the people, the history, the cultural pride. I love a place that closes Sunday streets for cyclists and pedestrians, offers salsa classes in its verdant parks, and grows papayas the size of footballs.
I went with Tim and our travel buddy Susan, logging upwards of 17,000 steps a day as we trekked through the Zocalo or main plaza with its spectacular cathedral; the Palacio de Belles Artes, with monumental murals by Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco; the impressive and educational Anthropology and Templo Mayor museums; the tile stores and neighborhood streets.
We also explored the pyramids at Teotihuacan, the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the famous blue house of Frida Kahlo, Casa Azul. Onward!
