Surprises in Mexico City

d

   Flying east of the active Popocatepeti volcano that erupted January 16 to March 3 this year.

 The eruption, 55 kilometres southeast of Mexico City.

  Coming into land at Mexico City -- population 8.4 million, 22 million including the suburbs at 7350 feet ASL, (the city)

We're in a funky little B&B in downtown Mexico City called Chill Out Flat B and B, 600 metres from the cathedral that was started in 1573. There's so much history here.

          The Old Archbishop's Palace

                Live concert today.

  Massive doors of the archbishop's palace.

A mixture of classical and contempory music. Such a beautiful environment for live music listening.

The Old College of San Ildefonso

In the courtyard of The Old College of San Ildefonso. A model posing amongst an art installation.

An exhibition of the work of Mexican sculptor, Javier Marín      

La Belleza de lo Imperfecto Corpus Corpus -- The Beauty of Imperfect

Marín's work is both disturbing and mesmerizing.

Long hallways in the 15th century college.

Outside the cathedral on Palm Sunday. Church goers carry braided palm leaves and flowers. 

   Scrumptious oven baked spaghetti for dinner tonight.

Hasta pronto.
