Dilapidated shelter in Black and White

Blowing its Top

A minor eruption of Popocatapetl from a distance.  All we got was a minor smell of sulphur, thankfully.

Hills and Rocks

There were a number of rock formations on the road from Mexico City mainly caused by erosion.

Pope John Paul II

John Paul ll made a number of visits to Mexico and is immortalised in a statue next to the Cathedral.  The statue is manufactured of metal keys contributed by the people, which is recognised by the key in the base.

Mexico is Famous for its Street Food

Xochimilco

As I mentioned in the post on the Cathedral Mexico City is built on a lake.  Xochimilco is the only area where the original nature of the city can be seen.  However that is relevantly boring compared to the carnival of life around the canals and we were there on quiet day.  Apparently the boats can't move on Sunday, they are jammed together.  This is mostly a family day out.

Lastly, unconsciously posing, our guide from Journey Latin America, Carrie.

Rooftops and Mountains

Our hotel was in the main square or Zocalo and this was taken from the rooftop restaurant.
