VIVA MEXICO

Hey all,
We arrived in Mexico City last Monday.  After a few quiet days recovering from the flight, we managed to settle in to Mexican life.  To our surprise the city is very well planned, with wide streets many parks and trees and good safe areas for pedestrians - you hardly notice that there are 25 million people living here.  During our short stay (18-24 July) we visited Centro Historico, Chapultepec Park, Teotihuacan (The Pyrimids of the Sun and Moon) and a few markets, art gallerys and museums.  Mexico City took us by surprise with its very modern [western] culture with many trendy bars cafes and people.  We even stumbled into an amazing performance by a very talented classical pianist playing in accompaniment to a crazy mural by Diego Rivera [a famous Mexican artist].
A good start to the trip....off to Oaxaxa.
