Mesoamerica 2019 - Day Sixteen, Mexico City Finale (Almost)

I have five more photographic posts to get up. Two from Mexico City and three from Cuba. I have decided to bounce around a bit. I am going to finish up with our last day in Mexico City. Then will come the final three days of our Cuba excursion. Then the pictures will end with a special on Mural Art in Mexico City. After that will come the postmortem and navel-gazing analysis (I have loved that term ever since daughter #3 started using it in her blog).

On our last day in CDMX, we took the subway to a slightly different part of town. Our goal was to see the Monumento a la Revolucion. But in fact our day was more oriented toward wandering the city and sort of absorbing what was happening on a Sunday in a great city. We also saw two museums dedicated to the great muralists but that mass of pictures will be a post unto itself.

 Looking at the Monumento

Looking within the Monumento

Looking out from the Monumento

Wandering CDMX Architecture as always

And people

All kinds of military drilling by the very young

Wish I had someone to ask what that was all about

 

Roads closed and tons of bikers

Skaters

Dancers

At each mural museum there was some kind of 'do-it-yourself' craft going on

And what could be a finer sight than a lovely pyramid of al Pastor meat for tacos reaching perfection
