Day 5 – Ciudad de México

Yesterday was arts&food Sunday 😉 I visited the Palacio of Bellas Artes, which hosted an exposition on Brian Nissen (never heard of him, but I liked it!), and some of the best murales ever made. One in particular, “El hombre controlador del universo” from Diego Rivera, is a masterpiece which takes a good 20 minutes just to fully watch and appreciate. Have a look here: El hombre controlador del universo.
Having some spare time, I also had a quick glance at the Palacio Postal, right on the other side of the street. An impressive building, google it and have a look!
In the afternoon I met Alberto, a friend of my sister’s partner, and we went with the entire family (wife, 2 kids and mother-in-law) to a fantastic restaurant called “Los Danzantes” in Coyoacán. The food was great, I finally managed to taste the Chapulines, and they are delicious! On top of that, I tasted some fantastic Mezcal from Oaxaca. So great, in fact, that I can’t wait to go there again 😉
On the way back, we got lost with the car, wich produced an unexpected tour of all the most non-touristic parts of the city. Not something to do every day, but interesting anyway 😛
Plan for today is still undecided, I’ll probably go and visit some ruins which I neglected until now… I know, history and all, but I like so much more the contemporary life 😀
That’s all for now, more updates will come in due time. 😉
