Sighseeing Mexico city center

Sunday...
We agreed today meet at 12:00, and that means that I had only 6 hours to sleep. My mexican friends (with whom I spent saturday) arrived only at 13:30.

Today we had plan to go to Chapultepec - big park with a lot of interesting places. First adventure was traffic on the roads. It was midday of Sunday, but traffic was huge. We were going on Reforma avenue (one of the largest streets in the world) - this street is really beautiful, One day I will have just to walk there.

Then we arrived to place close to Anthropology museum - famous museum about ancient civilizations. It was big challenge to find parking place, all places was full and also parking places for money was full. Finally ... we didn´t find place for a car and went just to walk in the park. Weather was almost wonderful, almost is because it was hot and some parts of my body (hands and face) was additionally hot from prev. day.


We wanted to rent a bicycle in the park, but didn´t do it because there was no place for renting a bicycle, only boats for driving in the lake.
After walking a bit in the nice park we decide to go to History museum. It was good and boring in the same time, but I enjoyed it.

Then we went to the place, that was goal for the day - Anthropology museum. Finally we managed to park our car on parking place for money and in the park on the way to museum I saw action, which I wanted to see and about what I was reading in my book about Mexico.

I liked it a lot. Then we went to Anthropology museum and that was very nice museum, you can feel there, how ancient civilizations were living.











After museum we went to Plaza de la tres culturas, where you can see in one place buildings of 3 different cultures - ancient, Spanish, modern.



Then we went to Marianas grandparents place, where I met her grandpa, grandma and uncle, and at that house that time was her mom and dad. We eat dinner(very tasty one) and together with mom and dad went to their home. That evening was relaxed, we were talking about different things and half of evening was talking about anatomy, when Vikus brought her notes from university (she study medicine) and we were discussing different things in anatomy in Spanglish :) It was interesting experience to talk about anatomy in spanish.I returned at home aprox. at midnight.Next day, after work I met again with same friends (Fernando, Vikus, Mariana) and we went to to drink beer with Mariana´s french friends, after pub we went to eat Tacos (at 12 of the night) and I arrived at home at 1 am.

Totally it was very exciting weekends and beginning of the week.

thanks for the photo of the people flying around the pole.

my teacher saw this in Mexico and then he flew to Sweden and he found a painting on a rock that was many hundreds of years old and it was a painting of the people flying around the pole!

he thinks there has been contact between Mexicans and Scandinavians for at least a thousand years.

thanks for the photos of the pyramids too - i can't wait to visit them.

I pushed "next blog" from my blog and I found yours.
