A few quick thoughts on Ciudad de Mexico…
We haven’t started pedaling yet. In fact, today we are loading our still-boxed bikes on a minibus and heading to Valle De Bravo where we will spend a couple of days reassembling and getting psychologically ready for some fairly big climbs around the land of volcanoes.
Mexico City has been surprisingly fantastic. I don’t quite recall what I was expecting, but is a very pretty city with beautiful Spanish Colonial style buildings. There are trees everywhere which makes the city very pleasing. Of course it also has a hell of a lot of people and can get fairly intense. Here are a few photos:
One of a few hundred thousand street food stalls.
These wonderful, giant paper maché sculptures lined the street outside of our Hotel Stanza in the Roma neighborhood
Fountain in the courtyard of the Museo National de Anthropologia
Some crazy human sacrifice relics from the Aztecs
A street dog caught in the act
A Frank ashtray
You never know what you are going to find in a market here
The common Mexico City bike
This photo doesn’t do justice to how crazy it is to get on and off the Metro
At the Sonora market – I think this market was the size of a small town in the US
A creepy alter in the Sonora brujo market
Virginia bewildered at the witchcraft/brujo market
Mexican flag in the Zocolo square
