Trip to Mexico: Mexico City, Part 4

My trip to Mexico City wouldn’t be complete without a set of photos which may seem to be random. Maybe they are — things that just caught my attention in the moment and decided to take a picture.

That’s what we do these days, right? Anyway, will try to explain the images in the captions.

Colonia Cuauhtemoc

The neighborhood I stayed in, a few blocks north of the Angel de Independencia.

Altar a la Patria in Chapultepec Park – monument to boy heroes who fought against the invading force from the U.S.
Another view of Altar a la Patria.
I liked everything about this little cafe in CDMX.
La Reforma near where I stayed.

Centro Historico

A lot of these photos below were taken from the tour bus I took to Las Piramides de Teotihuacan. (so at street level but raised a bit)

I was amazed at how orderly the Chilangos were for bus boarding.

Corner. I liked the lettering in the signs. CDMX
Took this photo because of the lantern. Monumental!
Old business alley in the Centro Historico.

Condesa, Polanco, Roma Norte

Some of the nicer neighborhoods in central CDMX that I walked around in – also my friend who’d moved there (at the time), Jim, lived in Condesa.

My friend Jim McKie and I stopped for lunch in Polanco.
