Mexico City
1 - Arrival & Pyramids
Back in Mexico last week for a slightly more urban trip than last time. We explored Mexico City. Some pics are up on my Flickr page.
(above, left) Pearson was frozen, solid -- solid as a rock -- when I left Toronto. After boarding the plane delirious from too many sleepless nights, like the Gambler, I was too tired to sleep. (above, right) Before landing, the plane turned and a took a stomach-churning dip over the Historic Centre. Amber met me at the airport.
That night we had Steak & Frites at Cluny's in San Angel and the next day we took Maria's advice, and rode the city bus tour (I wound up with a bright red sunburn that peeled for the rest of the trip). The day after that, we took a trip to see the ruins at Teotihuacan:
Looking down the 'Avenue of the Dead'.
(above, left) We were fascinated by the Xoloitzcuintle, a black, hairless dog. (above, right) The view from the top of the larger pyramid.
The larger 'Pyramid of the Sun'.
We always end up climbing something in Mexico ...
