My first trip to Mexico City was pretty G-rated. A couple of friends and I stayed near the Zocalo, a massive concrete square signed with a giant Mexican flag. A cathedral marks one side of the square, behind which ruins from the Templo Mayor were unearthed and are on display for all to see. Pretty cool to see the two structures side by side, actually. We spent the first day there walking around in search of black tennis shoes for yours truly and enjoying a plethora of non-Mexican foods only available in the big city. ha. The second day that we were there we visited the Diego Rivera Mural museum and walked around one of the big parks. The presence of parks like this reminded me of time spent in Argentina... unfortunately, it seems too late for Americans to catch on to this beautiful big city trend...
