What a trip! I can't wait to go back. There was so much to see I'm going to give it to you in several posts. I feel like Mexico's newest ambassador.
One of the things I loved most was learning about Mexico's sorted history in the National Palace and the Museum of Anthropologie. War after war. Conquered and conquering. Aztecs, Mayans, Spaniards, French, Americans...you get the picture.
I walked around most of the time looking up and saying "look at that building!". Buildings from the 15th and 16th centuries are cool. I loved the opulent cathedrals, the palaces, castles, and everyday buildings that graced the streets of Mexico City. Check it out below.
