Mexico City – 1995

Mexico City is the densely populated, high-altitude capital of Mexico. It's known for its Templo Mayor (a 13th-century Aztec temple), the baroque Catedral Metropolitana de México of the Spanish conquistadors and the Palacio Nacional, which houses historic murals by Diego Rivera. All of these are situated in and around the Plaza de la Constitución, the massive main square also known as the Zócalo.

🙂 Exceeded expectations – enjoyed our stay! Ancient history!

🙁 Green VW taxis – no longer in existence but you can see one for yourself if you visit Berlin Museum!

We left Acapulco at 06h45 and took a bus back to Mexico City and arrived at 12h30. Booked on a last minute trip to the the Pyramid of the Sun which is the largest building in Teotihuacan, and one of the largest in Mesoamerica. It is believed to have been constructed about 200 AD. You can’t climb the temples anymore, but when we visited it was allowed. Teotihuacán is located only 30 miles (50 km) away from Mexico City. It is unknown who exactly built the city back in the 400 B.C. range as there are components of different cultures including Maya, Zapotec, and Mixtec.

Poor Trent had the runs and poo’d in his pants at the top of the pyramids. There was no running water so we had to run down and by bottled water to clean him up – poor boy.

Stopped off at a tourist trap which was actually quite fun – drank tequila and watched a donkey drink beer! Bought a table cloth made fro Cacti thread and a stone carving. Got back at 19h00 and had a lovely dinner at our hotel in a place called Flash Fajitas & Beer! They gave us complimentary liqueurs and pudding!

The next morning we had a Mc Donalds breakfast – so cheap! Walked to Zocalo Square which was excellent – really surprised my Mexico City – it really feels safe and friendly. Locals kept trying to chat to us to improve their English! It had been brief but fun!

Next stop LA in the USofA!
