It's been a crazy four days and nights in mehico city - and it definitely exceeded my expectations! Our mehicano adventure continues though, as we head to Puebla, 2 hrs south east of Mexico city...
Am on the bus which happens to have wifi and have just realized that my last two posts speak only of Mexico city's awesome nightlife...and that definitely does not do Maya and I justice as queen sight-seers...
I won't bore you with museum details, but a few of the highlights we agreed really made our stay in Mexico city aside from the nights out on the town w our local amigos:
Palacio National - this enormous and very old building in the centro historico had a fantastic museum about mexicos fascinating history and even included a tour through the presidents offices. It also has a huge mural by famous Mexican Revolutionry artist Diego rivero.
Trotsky museum - the Russian revolutionary figure sought exile in mehico and this museum was in his house, where he was eventually assassinated. Great history lesson here!
Frida kahlo's house - interesting but sad life, amazing art.
Coyoacan - beautiful and leafy area of the city filled with cute cafes and quite bohemian, yummy halaros (ice cream).
San Angel - another chilled out area of the city, lots of cafes and restaurants, great art and handicraft markets on the weekends.
Anthropology museum - locals are very proud of this and it is one of the world's biggest collections, learnt alot about mexicos ancient civilizations, history and culture - the Aztec and Mayan groups were definitely the most interesting (think human sacrifices - Indiana Jones style!!)
Pictures of mehico city adventures to follow soon!!
