Adios Mexico

I'm on my way to the freezing snows of the ex-Soviet Union. Goodbye Mexico, Hello Moscow.

Mexico City is a lively and colorful place, full of people, culture and interesting places to see.

The Metro is an experience not to be missed.  The first time I rode the metro was shortly after it had been constructed for the Olympic games in 1968. I was there in 1970. The metro was modern and clean.  It was and still is an excellent way to get around Mexico City. You don't have to deal with taxi drivers and you feel independent.

This picture was taken in June, before I went to Russia. We're in the Park at the bottom of the hill that leads to Chapultepec Castle. 

"Ojos Tapatios"

"Adios mi Chaparrita"

Mexico City has many green areas: this is the path to the famous Chapultepec Castle where Maximilano and Carlotta rules as emperors and Porfirio Diaz presided as dictatorial President for more than 30 years.

The most amazing thing...everyone dies, but no one thinks "I am mortal." An exhibition of skulls from one of the pyramids.
