    Mexico City (Part II, Day 03)

    I've uploaded the photos from Part I of my trip!
     
    Not much to report today, other than it was a bit hotter and more humid today than I've seen since I've been here.
     
    We had a very good comida today. Five us of went to La Foresta. Four of us were Microsoft employees, and the fifth was an employee of out customer. I tell you, if you have high-cholesterol or are on a low-calorie diet, Mexico City probably isn't where you should spend a lot of time. :-)
     
    What else?...Let's see, the taxi rides are always an exciting time. They weave in and out of traffic and they pay loose attention to the traffic lanes (and traffic lights, for that matter). Many taxis don't even have seat belts in their back seats, so you really are taking risks.
     
    Oh well, hopefully my luck continue to be good while riding in taxis.
    Again, if you have any suggestions for an excursion on either Saturday or Sunday, let me know! Thanks!

    Oh if you are into wrestling (which I don't really like) convince some of your friends to go to "La Arena Mexico" it is quite popular if you want to get some of the local culture. By popular I mean you will find a very peculiar set of people and usually there is a lot going on not only in the ring but between the different social extracts (you will find people with lots of money and very poor as well). Better to go with someone who knows what is going on and can explain what these different groups sing to each other. Should be safe if you are not alone.

    Well for the weekend I would suggest either:
    Chapultepec (the park and Palace)
    A walk in Paseo de la Reforma (see the Independence Angel)
    Go to the "Plaza de Toros" for a bull fight
    Visit "Bellas Artes"
    Azteca Stadium (not sure if there are tours)

    Check this link for some impressive aerial fotos that could give you an idea: http://homepage.mac.com/helipilot/PhotoAlbum31.html
