The Stock Exchange, The Zoo, and Art Galore
Today it felt like we walked all over the city. We started off by walking down to the Zona Rosa where we got to go inside the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, or in English, Mexico's Stock Exchange. It is all electronic now so there was not as much action as I had hoped for, but it was still fun to look around the place.
We then made our way down the Paseo de la Reforma to a park called Bosque de Chapultepec. There we saw the Museum of Modern Art, the famous Museum of Anthropology, and we got a glimpse of the Chapultepec Zoo. Luckily, we made it in time to see the giant pandas before the exhibit closed. I could tell that Em was missing the San Diego Zoo.
For dinner we headed south of the park to a lively zone called Condesa. We ate sushi tonight (we are definitely taking advantage of all that the big city has to offer). We caught the metro back to the hotel as the sun was setting and prepared for our day tomorrow at Teotihuacán, first grabbing a Liquado con leche y mango at the smoothie place next to our hotel.
