This is one of the many Diego Rivera murals at the government's palace. It covers all of Mexican history from the conquistadors' invasion and enslavement of the indigenous people all the way to the 1910 revolution. It takes a lot of wall to tell that story.
Yes, that's a real organ grinder. We could hear him during the mass in the cathedral behind him. We could hear him from the roof when we were looking at the bells. We could hear him from down at the metro entrance 75 yards away.
Lots of spiral stairs to get to the roof. Lots of spiral stairs on the roof.
The cathedral. Very old. Very big. Very popular.
The results of the 1985 earthquake. Still not fixed or resolved. The whole city is built on a silty lake bed and parts are sinking. The earthquake ran its shocks peculiar patterns around the city. Some areas were harder hit than others.
