Mexico City District Federal

Hoooo dear Guadalajara! I had to leave you and some part of me will stay there forever I think. But I had to move on, and despite the sadness of leaving those people that made my stay in this wonderful city so unforgettable, I was also happy to move on and to finally start our travel, our adventure!

Here was the capital, with his 21+ Millions people, his dirty air and crazy nights. I walked (A LOT) almost every day but I won’t make a touristic guide here (you can find that online easily, I trust you). But some words on my impressions… People are incredibly slow. It looks like they walk with some kind of disease and don’t mind so much having someone walking behind them (which is kind of funny sometime if you can understand what they are talking about). The second thing I can say apart praising Templo Mayo and La casa azul, is, as always, people will try to get as much money as they can from you. For instance, they won’t mind letting open a museum at the same price with most of the painting not available (did I say most of them? Well, ALL of them bar one…).

Then I had some time with my cousin who just arrived before going straight to Oaxaca (The city as well as the name of the district, which is simply a dazzling choice).
Before letting you go, you can still get some of my pictures of the city/museum on the flick’r account, but right now, some bizarre things I’ve spotted in the capital:


The first one really made my day: a flying Jesus! He somehow managed to exchange his place with some priest. Can you do that David Coperfield!

Flying Jesus!

 Then, maybe my lack of religious knowledge is not helping here, but what the **** is on the head of Jesus? Really, it's disturbing...

Jesus super star

 Finally, the cleverest doc' in town: As you can see this doctor raised the pourcentage of people coming back because of a torticolis by 80%!!!
I tell you, TV is bad.

Clever Doc'

That's all for Mexico City. I just upload many pictures on the Flick'r account. i'm now with my cousin and the travel can finally start: next stop Oaxaca!
