A Busy Last Day in Mexico City


Off we left bright and early to visit the National Palace and see Diego Rivera's depiction in mural format of the history of the Spanish invasion.



Next we visited the Templo Mayor Museum which is still being excavated to show Aztecs ruins.Parts of the altar that saw many ritualistic ceremonies to the gods is being worked on right now so it shows more of the blue and red colored details.












Finally we had our farewell lunch and where joined by two representatives from Fulbright. We are so grateful to Fulbright for showing us a different side to the culture of Mexico. Of course, having Jacques and Alex to support our learning made it much more informative. Tomorrow we fly to Colombia and have Leo show us his unique country. Tonight it is raining cats and dogs and so I am relaxing and working on my photos ready for my project.
