ALONG THE WAY I ENCOUNTERED...

This tree is famous because it is covered with chewed gum.

Street vendors are everywhere and sell everything. Here, you have clay kitchenware.


I went to see a play but before that I had dinner at "Los Cochinitos," the name refers to the type of meat they served: pig. But I also think it refers to people who just eat like pigs... like me. 




The play: "Nueva York versus El Tepozito," a Mexican play about a mother and daughter who meet after years of being separated. Daughter lives in NYC; Mother lives in her little Mexican Town. Discuss! It was incredible! Showing at the Centro Elenico.  


Interesting enough, at the same theatre, "A View from a Bridge" was playing on the weekends.


El Palacio Nacional (Our version of the Senate and the Congress) It's an immense building decorated with murals by Diego Rivera. Unlike the buildings for the Congress and the Senate this one is open to the general public.  


Maguey, one of Mexico's pride and joy


Downtown Mexico City




Churros and hot chocolate, one of the best indulgences in Mexico City. And no, you have not tasted churros like these... unless you have been here. Period.


This is part of a modern art exposition done by university students


Jelly fish with cameras... interesting stuff. 


And finally, incredible graffiti decorating the walls downtown.
