Fiesta Inn Centro Historico Hotel Mexico City

... get smased on red wine and whisky and talk very loudly to me. The Indian one decided to tell me the history of the Taj Mahal. While I´m sure that is a fascinating subject, it´s not esepcially useful during a flight to Mexico. Luckily they both soon slipped into wine induced comas and left me to watch the **** selection of films. Unfortunately the one next to me later woke up, and discovered the music channel on the in flight entertainment system. He then proceeded to ´dance´in his chair ...

... orrore.<br>Per il resto del giorno ci limitiamo a camminare lungo i viali del centro, al momento di salire in camera ci accorgiamo della fatica di essere a 2200 mt, l'ostello è subdolo tu credi di dover salire al terzo piano, ma loro hanno due piani non conteggiati (dove c'è la cucina e l'altro con la sala tv) così in realtà devi arrivare al quinto. Dobbiamo organizzarci bene, perchè una volta scesi, se ti accorgi di aver dimenticato qualcosa, sono tutti cavoli tuoi risalire!!

... br><br>On the north side of the square were two cathedrals, and on the east, the National Palace. We had a look inside, and the interior courtyards and gardens were impressive. What was interesting, though, was one of their security requirements. They required identification, they took your picture, and bags and self went through an x-ray. The odd requirement: they dispensed a generous squirt of hand sanitizer into your ...

... denn er ist hier in Mexiko so eine Art Nationalheld. Seine Wandgemaelde sind erstaunlich regierungskritisch, wenn man bedenkt, wo sie sich befinden. Unser Guide erklaert uns, dass diese Wandgemaelde den Mexikanern vor allem auch deshalb so viel bedeuten, weil viele von ihnen nicht lesen koennen. Weiter geht's zum Aztekentempel "Templo Mayor", der erst vor kurzem direkt neben dem Zocalo zufaellig bei Strassenbauarbeiten entdeckt wurde. Wir nehmen uns wieder ...

... the more recent massacre of students in 1968 just before Mexico hosted the Olympics. Officially the number of student deaths was recorded at 40, the Lonely Planet says between 300 and 400, and Lambrico said it was in excess of a 1000 students. I believe the reason for the massacre was that a large group of students got together to demonstrate against the government but the Mexican president had prepared for this by placing snipers around the square on all the high ...

... an hour or so we decided to take a walk. When we returned a few hours later the computer was ready, but they had had to wipe everything out and reinstall Windows. Later we go to Sanborns for their enchilada suisa; delicious. July 12, 2008 Mexico City Arvid had at one time wanted to complete the trip home, to Michigan, by land. But now he is too tired and the idea has lost its appeal. The last destination on Irina's itinerary ...

... that they're letting me know that what I'm holding in my hands is so great, and the price is such a bargain, that I can't afford NOT to buy it. On the subway (twice in one trip), people will get on the train with a bag that has a built in stereo blaring music of some kind. They're selling CDs. They stay on the train just long enough to give you their sales pitch (which sounds pretty much the same to me as the people selling candy), and then hop off at the next stop ...

... was a phone. It makes sense though - no phone bill, but a limited number, perhaps just one, of people you can talk to. I didn't try my phone while I was there, but perhaps coverage in the city isn't too flash either. Another odd occurrence is seeing oldish women walking around town with what at first looks like a real child bundled up in their arms, but upon closer inspection is seen to be just a doll. The doll is dressed up too, almost looking like jesus as a baby or ...
