Place: Mex City, Mex - same as yesterday
"We toured Mexico City today. Visited University of Mexico which is beautiful - supposed to be a million students. We visited Museum of Anthropology. A hugh place but interesting. We visited Mexican Markets, National Museum + Maximillion's Castle. We visited parks + then home to the trailer.
Everyone is tired tonight - Walked miles it seemed. Got lost coming back to trailer park."
Mexico City is an an interesting city full of history with a European feel (I've never been to Europe but the Wife thinks it has the right feel and she's been there many times). I remember the murals at the University of Mexico and the Museum of Anthropology. It was one of the last places we went in the city and I remember being tired ... very tired. I don't think I appreciated it as much as I should have.
The Wife and I went back to Mexico City in 2003. We went to many of the places I'd been to thirty-one years earlier. I'm sure things had changed a bit. The museum didn't feel the same at all. The 2003 museum felt smaller than the one I went to. Of course, I was smaller in 1972 so everything felt bigger then. I also appreciated the city more even if I was not feeling well while I was there.
