Mexico City - Day 2

Day two in Mexico City started with a fantastic walking and Metro tour of ‘Real Mexico’. We got to see how the locals live out in the Barrios and try traditional Mexican food and also visited some sites and learnt some history. In the afternoon we went to the Templo Mayor Museum exhibiting the archaeological findings of the zone that used to be the Main Temple of the Mexica/Aztec peoples. It was discovered in 1978 by electrical workers digging in the area. We also went to a government building with extensive murals by Diego Rivera. His murals were an important political/activist statement to teach the Mexican people about their history as over 70% were illiterate post the revolution. We also went to the tallest building in Mexico City (Torre Latino Americana) to get some great shots of the city.Baca lagi
