Hello mummy!
I'm so happy! Today we got to walk through Mexico city for the first time, it was awesome!
The weather was warm however it was a bit cloudy, Niza says it was better because that way we could walk a lot! also we were lucky there was not many people so we could take a lot of nice pictures!
Today we walked around the centre and it was so much fun
Our day started down in the subway
The latin american tower
A monument that was a gift from Germany!
On the back it says: to the mexican people from the german community, september 17 1921
Right under the latin american tower, Niza says we will get to see the city from the top soon!
One of the streets of the centre
A really nice building
Then we went to the Zócalo (or the main square) we couldn't really see the flag because it was hold like that in signal of respect to the secretary of government that died last week in a helicopter accident
This is Palacio nacional (or the main government offices)
This is the cathedral
El templo mayor (some aztec ruins that are believed to be the centre of the aztec empire) Niza says we can go through the excavations however Mondays all the museums are closed so we will have to do that another time
This is a model of Tenochtitlán (Mexico city in the aztec times)
The statue of the founders, the legend says the aztecs were told by their god to found their city where they saw an eagle over a cactus eating a snake, so this scene is represented in this statue
The portals of one of the buildings next to the Zócalo
Statues of some of the aztec emperors, Nezahualcoyotl, Izcoatl and Totoquihuatzin, that's some hard names!
The MUNAL (national museum of art)
After looking at all this amazing places we sat down for a snack, green tea & doritos :P
And that was all for today, now you can see how exciting everything was! After all the walking we came home to rest and call it a day (:
