Diane and I had a totally restful day here in Mexico city.. i took the day off and only spent the first half of the day feeling guilty about it.. We worked out in the gym.. then walked over to the Museum of anthropology. It is a spectacular place.. and to be honest.. a bit overwhelming.. we strolled through centuries of olmec , toltec,, aztec, mayan and inca relics.. too many to take in.. but all amazing.. it was very cool .. and exhausting at the same time. It’s an amazing place.. see it if you can..

here are some pics from our visit..

we got back to the hotel mid afternoon then spent the rest of the day vegging and sleeping by the pool.. We’d had enough adventure and just wanted to chill. I’s so nice having diane here to chill with..

Around 5 we headed down to the subway to go visit the center of town, the Zocalo.. We got on the subway at Sevilla.. I love going on subways in different parts of the world.. This one was clean, quiet and fast.. and very, very crowded. very nice for a big city.. One interesting thing they had was a separate waiting area for kids and unaccompanied ladies.. nice idea..

We changed trains then got of at Zocolo and strolled around there.. the square was full of political encampments.. I think folks were permanently camping there in protest of one thing or another.> There were speeches going on and folks crowded around to hear them.. it was so surreal. Then we walked into the beautiful cathedral at the end of the square.. what a magnificent place !..

We then walked down in the old quarter in search of something to eat.. we settled on Tacuba on the recommendation of Esteben our hotel concierge.. it was GREAT.. we had cheeses stuffed poblanos, red snapper veracruz and an excellent sopa do ajo )(garlic soup)

After dinner we continued to walk ..until we came to the Palace de Belle Arts.. a beautiful building in a square packed with peopa;e at 9 at night.

Abotu that time we were getting pretty sleepy.. so we hopped on the subway and headed back to out hotel.

Tomorrow we’re off to Cuernavaca and Tepotzlan..

More then..

fore now.. buenas noches a todos. buenas noches sam
