Dec 28 - Mexico City. I’ll make this one short as we really are only here to layover before our flight to Puerto Escondido. We are staying in the Central Historico and it is PACKED with people. Of the 23 million people that live here, half of them must have been at the zocolo on Saturday night. Every major brand name store or food chain is in the heart of Mexico City and everyone here is shopping. Something is for sale in every inch of this district.
We managed to tour the National Palace with its amazing murals painted on the interior walls by Diego Rivera, and visit the wing where President Benito Juarez lived and died. Both sites were incredibly interesting. The palace visit was worth the hassle of being in the crowds, but we can both honestly say we hope we NEVER have to come back to Mexico City. Even though most of our navigating around has been painless, we feel safe, and the sites are spectacular, the city just isn’t our style. Our little oasis in Puerto Escondido can’t arrive soon enough.
