i have planned this trip for quite some time and knew that there were a lot of sights that are closed on mondays. but, i also know that the palacio nacional next to the zocalo is open on mondays. thus, to maximize my time in mexico city, i decided that monday was going to be the zocalo, the catedral metropolitana, the templo mayor ruins and palacio nacional (where one of diego's mural resides). lo and behold, we got to the zocalo at around 9:45 am and there were cops and barricad...

Finally, I made it to Mexico's capitol!

Because we had stayed out so late the previous night, Mel and I both needed some extra sleep. I had to be out of my hotel around 1PM, which is when Mel picked me up. Sadly, I only had 2 hours before I needed to be at the airport. We quickly drove to Xochimilco, which is an area of the city that is known for its extended series of canals that are the remains of the ancient Lago Xochimilco. One of the entrances to the canals was closed, causing serious traffic. So, we were unable to take an a...

Now, it turns out that Mexico City is high up; 7,400 ft (2.2 km) to be precise and the chickens and I were higher up in the hills north of the city in Santa Fe!Priorities first, use the toilet and make tea. Ok, the toilet is a clever design - how can I say... it's silent. Which comes in handy when there are no doors in the apartment! Splashes an...

Our last day was so bittersweet for me. I definitely took my time getting up and exiting the hotel because I just didn't want to leave!Sybil and I discovered that the metro on weekdays is QUITE different from taking the metro on weekends when there are less people and things are much more relaxed. Today, we were caught in the torrent of people trying to get to work and were shoved, squeezed and crowded out of many a train. It was quite tough, even by international standards. I imagine the onl...
