This blog entry is just some random pics of stuff going on around the city.....things we saw or experienced....there's really no cohesive theme for the montage.....just give ya a glimpse into whats happening.......
Quiet little neighborhood backstreet in the residential neighborhood of Condesa....
The Eco-bike rental people are everywhere in the city...we saw thousands of these bikes in racks all over....
Tana made a new friend down by the Zocolo....I believe that the Zocolo in Ciudad de Mexico is the largest public plaza in the world!!
Beautiful old church......right in the middle of downtown!!
Fountains everywhere throughout the city....and they are all in working order!!
Another peaceful place to sit and people watch.....
El Monumento a la Revolucion... This magnificent Art Deco Monument commemorates the Mexican Revolution 1910-1920 and is the tallest triumphal arch in the world....220 feet high. The structure is also the final resting place for the great heroes of the Mexican Revolution....
Pancho Villa
Francisco Madero
Plutarco Calles
Venustiano Carranza
and
Lazaro Cardenas
Pancho Villa's final resting place.....
La Plaza de la Revolucion de Mexico seen from the top of the monument...
The thing in the middle that looks like a ladder is a glass elevator shaft that transports people from the monument's basement to the top of the cupola.....
Skyline from the top of the monument....
Can't remember where I took this shot...????
We ran into this outing for a clown school while walking around in the neighborhood of Polanco...these aspiring clowns are out in the public for the purpose of practicing their chosen craft...they were really an exciting over the top group of young, middle aged, and vintage folks.....lots of fun...
Don't ya luv it...???
After visiting with us for a while...they took off down the way to brighten the day of someone else...!!
This guy is a street magician.....good too!
Down on the left side of the street you'll see a red awning prtruding onto the sidewalk....that's an Argentine Churrasco sidewalk cafe....one of our favorite spots in Mexico City....
Street view from our favorite table in the Argentine Churrasco joint...the office building across the street is the Headquarters for the Mexican social Security System...
