Mexico City

Two weeks ago, I went to Mexico City with Allie, Dee, and Ramses, a Spanish teacher at my school. We visited the ruins of Teotihuacan, the second largest ancient pyramids in the world. We then spent the next two days traveling around Mexico City. We visited several museums and famous buildings around the city, including the main cathedral and Chapultepec. While the buildings and history were impressive, with 24 million people in the metro area, the size of the city was what was most impressive. It even made Los Angeles look small. All in all, I´m glad I went but it was not nearly as authentic nor interesting as Michoacán or Chiapas.
